 ===== Bent's end 2001:44b8:5135:7c07::/64 =====
+==== gate-rpi ====
-    i) on gate-rpi
+The basic IP commands are:
       ip addr add dev eth0 2001:44b8:5135:7c07::44/64
       ip route add default from 2001:44b8:5135:7c07::/64 dev wg0  metric 10    ===> for return traffic
       ip -6 route add 2a06:4000:8073:1011::/64 dev wg0
+Two of the three commands are easily transferred to Networkd configurations files but the one with 'default from' isn't. The solution chosen was to write a systemd service file for this. The service file is listed further down. Here is the configuration file for eth0:
+  #/etc/systemd/network/eth0.network
+  [Match]
+  Name=eth0
+  [Network]
+  Address=192.168.19.44/24
+  DNS=192.168.19.5
+  IPForward=yes
+  Address=2a06:4000:8073:19::44/64
+  Address=2001:44b8:5135:7c07::44/64
+  IPv6AcceptRA=yes
+and for the tunnel interface (wg0):
+  #/etc/systemd/network/wg0.network
+  [Match]
+  Name=wg0
+  [Network]
+  Address=10.8.3.2/24
+  IPForward=yes
+  [Route]
+  #Gateway=10.8.3.1
+  Destination=2a06:4000:8073:1011::/6
-    ii) on Spot
+==== Spot ====
+Similarly the basic IP commands are:
       ip addr add dev enp2s0 2001:44b8:5135:7c07::5/64
       ip route add default from 2001:44b8:5135:7c07::/64 via 2001:44b8:5135:7c07::44 metric 10  ==> return traffic
+The 'default from' entry is again handled by a service file.
+Configuration file for enp2s0:
+  [Match]
+  Name=enp2s0
+  [Network]
+  Address=192.168.19.5/24
+  Gateway=192.168.19.254
+  Address=2a06:4000:8073:19::5/64
+  DHCP=no
+  IPv6AcceptRA=yes
+  [Address]
+  Address=2001:44b8:5135:7c07::5/64
+  PreferredLifetime=0
+(the PreferredLifetime=0 is there to prevent usein this address as source address for outgoing connections
+==== Service script ====
-IP numbers and device have been updated.
+  #/etc/systemd/system/return-route.service
-Some firewall additions may be required.....

-Does this all seem right?????
+  Description=Return route for IPv6 traffic

+  ExecStart=/usr/bin/ip -6 route add default from 2001:44b8:5135:7c07::/64 via 2a06:4000:8073:19::44 dev enp2s0 metric 10
+  ExecStop=/usr/bin/ip -6 route del default from 2001:44b8:5135:7c07::/64 via 2a06:4000:8073:19::44 dev enp2s0 metric 10
+  Type=oneshot
+  RemainAfterExit=yes
+  [Install]
+  WantedBy=multi-user.target
+This is the script from Spot. The one on gate-rpi is identical except for the interface name which is eth0 on gate-rpi. It doesn't have the 'via' part either.
