+===== Manual configuration of the IPv6 prefix delegation =====
+If your ISP assigns to you a **Prefix Delegation** (an IPv6 subnet), but it does not offer the **DHCPv6 service**, you need to configure the address manually. In our case the WAN IPv6 address is automatically negotiated on the ppp0 interface, so we manually configure the LAN IPv6 address (the delegated prefix) on the internal interface **br0**.
+Just add the following section into **/etc/netword/interfaces** file:
+<file>
+iface br0 inet6 static
+        address 2a02:2427:513:1c03::1
+        netmask 64
+</file>
 ===== DHCPv6 client: the wide-dhcpv6-client.service =====

-The script we added calls the default Debian script before modifying the default route.
+If you need to call the default Debian hook script **/etc/wide-dhcpv6/dhcp6c-script** (used mainly to set the DNS nameserver on DHCPv6) you need to uncomment the relevant line in the scrtip above.
