Hi,

I am wondering, how may I define IPv6 variables?

The obvious idea:

define IP6PREFIX = fdaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd

produces an error:

/etc/nftables/setup.conf:7:29-29: Error: syntax error,
unexpected colon, expecting newline or semicolon

define IP6PREFIX = fdaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd
                            ^

What would be the proper way to do so? Any documentation on this?

Thanks

Ede
