Hello,

AFAIK, anycast is implemented using routing. (I never ran IPv6 anycast
services, but I run IPv4 ones). So you have to add you anycast-ip to
some dummy interface (for example ip a a 2001:67c:20a0:b103::2/128 dev
dummy0) and redistribute the prefix via IGP (ospf, ibgp ...)
You cannot have an address twice on the same link.
