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.

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.

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.
