IPv6 tokenized interface identifier support is used for assigning well-known host-part addresses to nodes
whilst still obtaining a global network prefix from Router advertisements. The primary target for
tokenized identifiers are server platforms where addresses are usually manually configured, rather than
using DHCPv6 or SLAAC. By using tokenized identifiers, hosts can still determine their network prefix by
use of SLAAC, but more readily be automatically renumbered should their network prefix change [1].
Tokenized IPv6 Identifiers are described in the draft [1]: <draft-chown-6man-tokenised-
ipv6-identifiers-02>.
iptokenset-setaninterfacetoken
set the interface token to the kernel.
TOKEN the interface identifier token address.
devDEV
the networking interface.
iptokendel-deleteaninterfacetoken
delete the interface token from the kernel.
devDEV
the networking interface.
iptokenget-gettheinterfacetokenfromthekernel
show a tokenized interface identifier of a particular networking device. Arguments: coincide with the
arguments of iptokenset but the TOKEN must be left out.
iptokenlist-listallinterfacetokens
list all tokenized interface identifiers for the networking interfaces from the kernel.
