IPv6 static route not loaded after reboot

Software SW help
1

I have added static routes both for IPv4 and IPv6. With IPv4 it works. For IPv6 it works but when I reboot the router the route is not loaded.

When I check /etc/config/network I find the route:

config route6
option interface 'lan’
option target 'fdc2:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::/64’
option gateway ‘fdc2:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:yyyy:yyyy:yyyy:yyyy’

Also when I load the route manually it works:

ip route add fdc2:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::/64 via fdc2:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:yyyy:yyyy:yyyy:yyyy dev br-lan

What can be the reason why this route is not loaded after starting the router?

Strange: today after the boot of the router it worked.

Don’t understand what is going on: just checked for the route. I can see in /etc/config/network and in the GUI but on the system the route is not set.

After clicking Network -> Static Rules -> Safe & Apply the route appears on the system.

After reboot the route is still in the configuration but not set.

I have now put a command to set this route into /etc/rc.local.

But I consider this not as solution. This is a workaround.

Did you have any errors in the logs?

There is a lot of stuff in there but nothing that gives me a clue that the system tried to set this route.

For example I find this traceback:
