Hi everyone, I’m configuring IPv6 in our Mikrotik to have different link-local address per VLANs under the same bridge. I’m not sure if this is possible. I have a router that is connected to Mikrotik that have 3 VLANs in WAN interface. When I’ve checked the IPv6 gateway for each VLANs, it uses the same gateway (link-local of the bridge).
How can I configure to have different gateway/link-local for each VLANs?
Thank you for your replies.
Hi and welcome!
The ability to set link-local addresses was added is 7.17. From the changelog:
*) ipv6 - added support for manual link-local address configuration;
A better question is: why would you want to do that? Usually for the link-local address is constructed from the mac address, which is the same for all vlans. Having the same link-local address on multiple interfaces/networks is fully correct and supported everywhere. (BTW that’s why link-local addresses are usually displayed as address%interface.)
This is the requirement of one of my LAN clients, to have 3 VLANs but different IPv6 link-local/gateway. I’ll try to add a static link-local to one of the VLANs
Thank you for your reply
