* You can use one of the known NAT64 prefixes from our networks (LINK!)
8
** In the example below this is 2a0a:e5c0:2:10::/96
9
* You need to have a /96 (or better: /64) routed to the openwrt

** In the example below this is 2a0a:e5c0:17:1::/96

h2. Managing static IPv6 addresses
179
180
If using a statically routed IPv6 network, the default RA mechanism does not set an outgoing route by default. This is a bit different from "regular" Linux:
181
182
* openwrt uses user space odhcp6c
183
* for openwrt we need to setup a "static default route"
184
** do not forget to select the interface in the list
185
* Default Linux on the other hand needs to use accept_ra=2 if ipv6 forwarding is on
186
** This also works on openwrt, but it is conflicting/not the correct way to do
187
* **TL;DR If using openwrt with static IPv6 addresses, add a static IPv6 default route**
188 15 Nico Schottelius
189
Alternative (currently untested) approach:
190
191
<pre>
192
instead of hardcoding the subnet in lan, add it as "option ip6prefix" to your wan6/dhcpv6 interface
193
in lan merely add "option ip6assign 64" or however much bits you want to redelegate
194
that should make odhcp6c/netifd aware of the additional prefix and factor that into the default route coverage
195
it should work as if the prefix were received via dhcpv6-pd
196

h2. Temperature sensor support
201
202
We are using "temper" based usb temperature sensors. They are read using "temper-py":https://pypi.org/project/temper-py/. 
203
The default setup is to write to /www/temperature.txt which allows the temperature to be read from the standard webserver.
204
205
So if you own a VIIRB/VIWIB/other OpenWRT device using the "openwrt-add-temper":https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/ungleich-tools/-/blob/master/openwrt-add-temper.sh you can see the temperature on http://ip-of-the-device/temperature.txt.
