After the static IPv6 address has been added, you would need to enable the IPv6 address under DirectAdmin. Log in to your servelet using SSH as root, and then modify below file:

/usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf

Add below line to enable IPv6:

===
ipv6=1
===

Save the file, and then restart DirectAdmin by executing below command:

service directadmin restart

Login to your DirectAdmin control panel using admin account:

http://IP-ADDRESS:2222/

Under Home > Admin Tools > IP Management > Add IP, key in the IPv6 address you want to add. As for the subnet mask, put "/64". For example:

IP: 2400:c980:0000:0002::x
Netmask: /64

Click on the "Add IP" button. Once added, you will see the IPv6 address listed on the IP list.
