ip6addrctl add prefix precedence label
ip6addrctl delete prefix
ip6addrctl flush

The ip6addrctl utility manages the policy table of source
and destination address selection for outgoing IPv4 and IPv6 packets. When
ip6addrctl is
invoked without an argument or with a single argument show,
it prints the content of the policy table currently installed in the ker
nel.
To modify the table, the following operations are available:
add prefix precedence label: Add a policy entry. The prefix argument is an IPv6; prefix, which
is a key for the entry. An IPv4 prefix should be; specified with
an IPv6 prefix using an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.; The precedence
and label arguments are decimal numbers, which spec; ify the precedence and label values for the entry, respectively.; This operation should be performed without an existing entry; for the prefix.
delete prefix: Delete a policy entry specified by prefix, which; should be an
IPv6 prefix. A corresponding entry for the prefix; should have
already been installed.
flush Delete all existing policy entries in the kernel.
install configfile: Install policy entries from a configuration file; named
configfile. The configuration file should contain a; set of policy entries. Each entry is specified in a single; line which contains an IPv6 prefix, a decimal precedence value,; and a decimal
label value, separated with white space or tab char; acters. In
the configuration file, lines beginning with the; pound-sign (`#')
are comments and are ignored.
