Hey, I want create a static route of my /64 prefix to my local server for VPN and other stuff. I can't use the GUI for that. How can I make it using some scripts to survive all the reboots, changes on the router?
Code:
ip -6 route add 2001:xxx:xxx:xxx::/64 via 2001:xxx:xxx:xxx::50 dev br0
I know there is a dhcp-event but there is so many events that I am bit confused which to use.

First, you have to state what router model and firmware you are using.
 
So I managed to create simple script. Since I am using PPPoE dhcp-event will not work for me.
It takes some time to receive the prefix so I added 20 seconds sleep. I can probably check for it dynamiclly but that works for me just fine.

wan-event:
Bash:
#!/bin/sh

if [ "$2" = "connected" ]; then
    sleep 20

    logger -t "ipv6_static_route" "Adding static IPv6 route"
    ip -6 route add 2001:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::/64 via 2001:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::x dev br0
fi
