IPv6 ping - "no route to host"

Mon Mar 18, 2013 2:47 pm

Hello there,

I have one RB with IPv6 connectivity and /48 subnet free to use, so I decided to make ovpn to my home Mikrotik and distribute IPv6 at home.

But there is one issue which I am unable to solve and looks quite weird to me... I have bridge interface br0 over ether+wlan interfaces with assigned IPv6 address and enabled advertising. I connect to WiFi, get IPv6 address and default gw via Mikrotik's link local address (dunno why not global one, but nevermind).

The main issue is I cannot reach any IPv6 device from Mikrotik because if I tried to ping PC's address, i got "no route to host". Why it don't knows route to it's directly connected network? Can you please try to help me find any solution of this? I don't know where could be mistake, I think I configured everything correctly :(

I currently use RouterOS v. 5.22 on RB433 at home. Please see some configuration snippets below, I truncated them for better simplicity.

Linux:
Code: Select all
$ ip -6 r

At the end ... I have found one solution how to make router working, but I don't like it. It's a little bit more weird then issue it self.

Same problem here. I wrote it to support for months ago, I asked they multiple times if this is a known bug or not but no answare comes back.

Reboot can resolve it temporarily but after a random time the router lost again their routes to own connected neigbours. It can only reach itself. Really very strange thing. It would be appreciated if someone from MT could tells something if they knows this issue and working on it or not.

Have a similar issue on my CCR. Addresses of the router:
Code: Select all
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic, G - global, L - link-local 
 #    ADDRESS                                     FROM-POOL INTERFACE                                                              ADVERTISE
 0  G 2001:67c:xxxx::4e:1/63                                b1-bridge                                                       no       
 1  G 2001:67c:xxxx:300::10/64                             b2-bridge                                                            yes
Routes:
Code: Select all
Flags: X - disabled, A - active, D - dynamic, 
C - connect, S - static, r - rip, o - ospf, b - bgp, U - unreachable 
 #      DST-ADDRESS              GATEWAY                  DISTANCE
 0 A S  ::/0                     2001:67c:xxxx::3                1
 1 ADC  2001:67c:xxxx::/63       b1-bridge                0
 2 ADC  2001:67c:xxxx:300::/64   b2-bridge                     0
The router sometimes doesn't see its own connected neighbours. Sometimes if trying to ping a directly connected neighbour, it will send the packet to the default gateway (route #0), then the default gateway will send it back to the router, and then it will repeat until the TTL is expired. Sometimes, pinging any external IPv6 address (except directly connected neighbours or the default gateway) will show "Network is down" error. This behaviour is occuring pretty randomly to me. So far I managed to fix it just by disabling and then re-enabling the IPv6 local addresses and the IPv6 default route. Don't know, maybe it caused the RouterOS to do some magic inside and the inconsistent state of routing was somehow fixed. Until the next reboot....

Not yet, I made it work with two routes hack and didn't do anything more with that.
