IP-TOKEN(8)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so the manual name here is ip-token, and it's all about 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 ✨

bestie, listen, this one is giving main character energy 💖 IPv6 tokenized interface identifier support lets you give nodes well-known host-part addresses while still getting a global network prefix from Router advertisements 🌸 It's mostly for server platforms, where addresses are usually configured by hand instead of through DHCPv6 or SLAAC 🫶 With tokenized identifiers, a host can still figure out its network prefix using SLAAC, and it can get renumbered automatically if that prefix ever changes [1] 🔥 The whole concept is written up in the draft [1]: <draft-chown-6man-tokenised-ipv6-identifiers-02> 📚

✨ ip token set - set an interface token ✨

okay so this one sets the interface token in the kernel 💅

• TOKEN — the interface identifier token address 🦋
• dev DEV — the networking interface you want to use 🎀

🗑️ ip token del - delete an interface token 🗑️

this one deletes the interface token from the kernel, so it's gone, gone 😭

• dev DEV — the networking interface 🌈

🔍 ip token get - get the interface token from the kernel 🔍

this one shows you the tokenized interface identifier for a particular networking device 👑 ngl the arguments match the ones for ip token set, except you leave out the TOKEN 🙈

📋 ip token list - list all interface tokens 📋

this one lists every tokenized interface identifier for the networking interfaces the kernel knows about 🧚
