+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;
