My ISP is only dishing out IPV4 and who knows if/when IPV6 will happen and what effect it will have.
But, I am building my first firewall and …
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Building+Your+First+Firewall
… says to add an IPV6 section, so I am going to throw it in there.
The problem is, sit1 is mentioned twice without a line defining what sit1 is.
add chain=forward action=accept in-interface=!sit1 protocol=icmpv6 comment=“icmpv6”
add chain=forward action=accept src-address-list=allowed in-interface=!sit1 comment=“local network”
So I found an example in…
https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:My_First_IPv6_Network
… that says it should be defined something like this:
/interface 6to4
add comment=“HE IPv6” local-address=194.105.56.170 mtu=1280 name=sit1 remote-address=
216.66.80.90
But I am not trying to build an IVP6 network, so I’m confused as to what needs to be in my first firewall or if I even need to address IPV6.
Can an attacker use IPV6 against the router even though it has an IPV4 address?
Do I need to leave an IPV6 door open in case the ISP ever decides to use IPV6?
