Verizon FIOS finally rolled out IPv6 in my area. yay! I'd like for

IPv4. But how to do that?
I have a Netgate firewall that does a dhcp6 request for a /56 from
Verizon, then the firewall delegates a /64 to each internal subnet.
I haven't been able to figure out how to assign a static address when
the network part might [will] change.. so I've got everything using
managed addresses (ie. dhcp6). So effectively the server has a static
address, but still.. I'd rather not depend on DHCPv6
Thoughts on how2?
Not sure I exactly understand what you want but you can specify the
local part of an SLAAC ipv6 address thus:
iface eth0 inet6 auto
pre-up echo 64
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/accept_ra_rt_info_max_plen
pre-up ip token set ::0123:4567:a9ab:cdef/64 dev eth0
Yes!! That looks like what I want.
Where does it go if I want to always done at boot time?
I've got it in /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0
but whereever you've put the network configuration
/etc/network/interfaces perhaps?
(Your interface may well not be called eth0. I grabbed that from a
virtual machine)
