This site provides snippets for configuring your network just right for the use case you are looking for. All configuration is for configuration.nix

IPv6

Prefix delegation with fixed DUID

Sometimes the hosting provider manages ipv6 networks via a so-called DUID or clientid. This snippet is required to make the network routable:

{ config, pkgs, ... }:

let
  # Get this from your hosting provider
  clientid = "00:11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99";
  interface = "enp2s0";
  subnet =  "56";
  network = "2001:bbb:3333:1111::/${subnet}";
  own_ip =  "2001:bbb:3333:1111::1/${subnet}";
in {
  # ... snip ...

  networking.enableIPv6 = true;
  networking.useDHCP = true;
  networking.dhcpcd.persistent = true;
  networking.dhcpcd.extraConfig = ''
    clientid "${clientid}"
    noipv6rs
    interface ${interface}
    ia_pd 1/${network} ${interface}
    static ip6_address=${own_ip}
  '';
  environment.etc."dhcpcd.duid".text = clientid;

}
