NAME
       ip-sr - IPv6 Segment Routing management

SYNOPSIS
       ip sr  { COMMAND | help }

       ip sr hmac show

       ip sr hmac set KEYID ALGO

       ip sr tunsrc show

       ip sr tunsrc set ADDRESS

DESCRIPTION
       The ip sr command is used to configure IPv6 Segment Routing (SRv6) internal parameters.

       Those parameters include the mapping between an HMAC key ID and its associated hashing algorithm and secret, and the
       IPv6 address to use as source for encapsulated packets.

       The ip sr hmac set command prompts for a newline-terminated "passphrase" that will be used as the HMAC secret for the
       corresponding key ID. This "passphrase" is not stretched, and it is used directly as the HMAC key.  Therefore it must
       have enough entropy to be used as a key. For example, a correct use would be to use a passphrase that was generated
       using head -c 32 /dev/random | base64 -w 0.

       A blank "passphrase" removes the mapping.

       The currently supported algorithms for ALGO are sha1 and sha256.

       If the tunnel source is set to the address :: (which is the default), then an address of the egress interface will be
       selected. As this operation may hinder performances, it is recommended to set a non-default address.

EXAMPLES
   Configure an HMAC mapping for key ID 42 and hashing algorithm SHA-256
       # ip sr hmac set 42 sha256

   Set the tunnel source address to 2001:db8::1
       # ip sr tunsrc set 2001:db8::1

BUGS
       ip sr hmac set does not stretch the passphrase.
