Access an IPv4 managemnt webui of an bridge via the inernal IPv6 network

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

I have the problem, that I must access the control webui of an bridge, which understand only IPv4 from an IPv6 only station.

From the router itself it will works, because I have set an IPv4 address of the bridge management network to the port where the bridge is connected.

So my idea is, to use 4in6 to connect to the router which than do nat to forward it to the IPS bridge.
But I never has done this before using Mikrotik.
Here an logical picture of the setup:

Does anyone have any ideas on how best to get started with this?

Thanks

NAT64 can also be an solution, but the manual say’s not supported :frowning:

You could set up proxy on your router. Then configure browser on your IPv6-only computer to use router's proxy to access the bridge management.

Just make sure you set up protection around your proxy service, you don't want to allow it to be used by whole internet.

Strange but possible.

At the same time, I sent a request to support asking whether NAT64 could be implemented. Since RouterOS is based on Linux, it should be possible to add one of the two known implementations.

Thanks.

That would be like asking if IPsec VTI can be implemented. Linux supports it and it has been requested many times.

When you want a solution now, get started using a workaround.
