How to use ip rule and ip route commands for IPv6 addresses?

Question

For IPv4 we use:

ip rule add from (ipv4 address) table 60
ip route -net (ipv4 address) mask (ipv4 mask) (interface number)

How do I use the ip rule and ip route commands for IPv6 addresses?

Solution

The equivalent IPv6 versions require you to use "-6":

Add rule:

ip -6 rule add from 1234:5678:9abc:def0::/64 table 60 

Add route:

ip -6 route 1234:5678:9abc:def0::/64 dev eth0

What happens when you use the exact same syntax for an IPv6 rule and route, but with the -6 option or -family inet6 where appropriate?

man ip would tell you all you need.
