How do I allow a device in IPv6 Firewall?

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration

Is it possible to disable the IPv6 firewall for one specific device. Also how do I completely disable IPv6 firewall if I want?

What is not working?
What exactly do you want to allow?

I want to allow port 80 and some other ports.

Its actually Synology NAS server, port 80 and port 5000 needs to be forwarded, and there some other ports thats needs SMB protocol, so I just want to allow the whole device to open all ports for Synology NAS.

Is this the file I need to modify? /etc/config/firewall

Instead of the above rule can I add

option macaddr '78:a3:51:44:d0:22'
or
option src_mac 00:00:00:00:00:100:

because HOST_IPV6_ADDR keeps changing as it is dynamic.

So what file do I need to edit? I mean where do I copy and paste the code above.

uci add firewall forwarding
uci set firewall.@forwarding[-1].src="wan"
uci set firewall.@forwarding[-1].dest="lan"
uci set firewall.@forwarding[-1].family="ipv6"
uci commit firewall
service firewall restart

Connect to your router via SSH and copy-paste those commands directly into the terminal.
