[CentOS] IPv6 fixed address using ip token

I'm about to publish a fixed IPv6 address and I understand I can use the ip
token command to lock the host part of the RA-assigned address to a fixed
value. But I can't see an obvious place to configure this. The logical
place would be in the ifcfg-<interface> file. Is there someplace else I
should set this? NetworkManager? It looks like the new systemd-networkd has
support for this but my interfaces seem to be configured from the old
initscripts and the new systemd-networkd isn't installed.
