NAME
       ip-token - tokenized interface identifier support

SYNOPSIS
       ip token { COMMAND | help }

       ip token set TOKEN dev DEV

       ip token del dev DEV

       ip token get [ dev DEV ]

       ip token [ list ]

DESCRIPTION
       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 tok‐
       enized 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]: .

   ip token set - set an interface token
       set the interface token to the kernel.

       TOKEN  the interface identifier token address.

       dev DEV
	      the networking interface.

   ip token del - delete an interface token
       delete the interface token from the kernel.

       dev DEV
	      the networking interface.

   ip token get - get the interface token from the kernel
       show  a	tokenized interface identifier of a particular networking device.  Arguments: coincide with the arguments of
       ip token set but the TOKEN must be left out.

   ip token list - list all interface tokens
       list all tokenized interface identifiers for the networking interfaces from the kernel.
