IPv6 fe80 address get changed on every reboot

[MichaelTrip]

Hi,

Every time i reboot my RB2011UiAS-2HnD the fe80 ipv6 address changes. I use a bridge interface as my wan interface. How to fix this?

Hello

fe80 is a link local ip. You should have received a routeable ipv6 from your isp: either static, ra or dhcp. Use that one.

I have a static route on my router from my ISP that routes a /54 to my Mikrotik. I can only route on my fe80 address, so now i have to change my routes every time my Mikrotik reboots.

Manually set the MAC on the bridge interface, then the fe80 address should not change. The fe80 address is derived from the MAC address, so your bridge MAC must be changing, otherwise the fe80 would not change.

Thanks for your answer. That seems to work!
