To add an IPv6 network route, you can use the ip -6 route add command along with the appropriate parameters.
Here is an example of the command:
ip -6 route add <destination network>/<prefix length> via <gateway> dev <interface>
Destination network: The destination IPv6 network address you want to add a route to.
Prefix length: The prefix length of the destination network.
Gateway: The IPv6 address of the gateway through which you want to route traffic to the destination network.
Interface: The network interface through which the traffic should be routed.
Note that you must have sufficient privileges (e.g., as root or with sudo) to change network configurations.
ip -6 route add 2001:db8:abcd:1234::/64 via 2001:db8:abcd:5678::1 dev eth0
This command adds a route for the IPv6 network "2001:db8:abcd:1234::/64". Traffic is routed through the gateway "2001:db8:abcd:5678::1" and the network interface "eth0".
