How to use ip rule and ip route commands for IPv6 addresses?

2

For IPv4 we use:

ip rule add from (ipv4 address) table 60
ip route -net (ipv4 address) mask (ipv4 mask) (interface number)

How do I use the ip rule and ip route commands for IPv6 addresses?

1What happens when you use the exact same syntax for an IPv6 rule and route, but with the -6 option or -family inet6 where appropriate? – Zoredache – 2013-01-14T20:25:19.250

man ip would tell you all you need. – WeloSefer – 2013-01-14T22:53:06.810

The equivalent IPv6 versions require you to use "-6":

Add rule:

ip -6 rule add from 1234:5678:9abc:def0::/64 table 60

Add route:

ip -6 route 1234:5678:9abc:def0::/64 dev eth0
