IP-ADDRLABEL(8)

💖 IP-ADDRLABEL(8) 💖

✨ NAME ✨

okay so the name is ip-addrlabel 🎀 and it's all about protocol address label management 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ip addrlabel  { COMMAND | help }

ip addrlabel { add | del } prefix PREFIX [ dev DEV ] [ label NUMBER ]

ip addrlabel { list | flush }

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

bestie, IPv6 address labels are used for address selection 🫶 they're described in RFC 3484, and it's giving a whole vibe ✨ Precedence is managed by userspace, and only the label itself gets stored in the kernel 💜

⭐ ip addrlabel add - add an address label ⭐

add an address label entry to the kernel 🔥

🎀 prefix PREFIX

🎀 dev DEV

the outgoing interface 🦋

🎀 label NUMBER

the label for the prefix 🌈 0xffffffff is reserved, so don't touch it, no cap 😭

💀 ip addrlabel del - delete an address label 💀

delete an address label entry from the kernel 🧚 Arguments: coincide with the arguments of ip addrlabel add but the label is not required, which is lowkey so convenient 🙈

🍓 ip addrlabel list - list address labels 🍓

list the current address label entries in the kernel ✨

👑 ip addrlabel flush - flush address labels 👑

flush all address labels in the kernel 🔥 This does not restore any default settings, so be careful, periodt 💅
