Update configuration on IPv6 prefix change
==========================================

[◀ Go back to main README](../README.md)

Description
-----------

With changing IPv6 prefix from ISP this script handles to update...

* ipv6 firewall address-list
* dns records

Requirements and installation
-----------------------------

Just install the script:

    $ScriptInstallUpdate ipv6-update;

Your ISP needs to provide an IPv6 prefix, your device receives it via dhcp:

    / ipv6 dhcp-client add add-default-route=yes interface=ppp-isp pool-name=isp request=prefix script=ipv6-update;

Note this already adds this script as `script`. The pool name (here: "`isp`")
is important, we need it later.

Also this expects there is an address assigned from pool to an interface:

    / ipv6 address add from-pool=isp interface=br-local;

Sometimes dhcp client is stuck on reconnect and needs to be released.
Installing [ppp-on-up](ppp-on-up.md) may solve this.

Configuration
-------------

An address list entry is updated with current prefix and can be used in
firewall rules, comment has to be "`ipv6-pool-`" and actual pool name:

    / ipv6 firewall address-list add address=2003:cf:2f0f:de00::/56 comment=ipv6-pool-isp list=extern;

Static DNS records need a special comment to be updated. Again it has to
start with "`ipv6-pool-`" and actual pool name, followed by a comma,
"`interface=`" and the name of interface this address is connected to:

    / ip dns static add address=2003:cf:2f0f:de00:1122:3344:5566:7788 comment="ipv6-pool-isp, interface=br-local" name=test.example.com ttl=15m;
