Announcing IPv6 routes via BGP

RouterOS Forwarding Protocols
1

Hey All,

Im trying to announce my IPv6 addresses to one of our peers and cant seem to find the appropriate place to do this. The session is up and running, and im announcing IPv4 no problem using the “Networks” tab in the BGP window (winbox).

Is there a IPv6 equivilent?

Go to peer’s configuration and check IPv6 address family.

I have that checked, the problem is where do i announce our /32 worth of addresses. Do i add them under Routing - prefix list? and if so how do i make it so those IPv6 prefixes are announced to specific peers?

Thanks in advance

Martin

if there is no comparable ‘networks’ option in ipv6, you simply add a loopback bridge, and place that subnet on the bridge. It will then be in your routing table and be annouced. This is how I am currently doing ours and it works okay.

Hey,

After adding the subnet to an interface, i should Then i redistribute connected via the BGP instance? If so the only problem with that is that i also have connected ipv4 address space that i dont want to anounce over that peer.

But i guess i can filter that out somehow. Can you confirm that you announce by attaching to interface, and then anounce via bgp using the “redistribute connected” feature.

Use routing-test instead normal routing, then you will be able to add IPv6 Network to the BGP
