ipv6 setup

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hello, I am trying to setup ipv6.
I was given by my ISP this information:

IPv6 address          2a00:xxxx:32:yyyy:: /56 (gateway 2a00:xxxx:32:zzzz::/56)
routing prefix      2a00:xxxx:232:yyyy::/64  (DNS servers 2a00:xxxx:0:12::  ,  2a00:xxxx:0:22:: )

and I would like to setup hAP ac3 with router os 6.49.10. So far I did:

/ipv6/address
add interface=ether1 address=2a00:xxxx:32:yyyy::/56 advertise=no
/ipv6/route
add dst-address=::/0 gateway=2a00:xxxx:32:zzzz::/56
/ipv6/pool
add name=myISPpool prefix=2a00:xxxx:232:yyyy::/64 prefix-length=64
/ipv6/address
add address=::1 from-pool=myISPpool interface=bridge advertise=yes
/ipv6 dhcp-server
add address-pool=myISPpool interface=bridge name=server1

But it is not working. Am I missing somtething.
Where do I set the ipv6 DNS servers?
Thanks for any advice…

If the addresses are static they should provide a WAN /64 with both their end (the gateway) and your end addresses - the latter should be the target of the routed /56 addresses. If they are mistakenly just presenting a /56 on the WAN that will not work as it requires ND proxy as a hack which Mikrotik do not implement.

You appear to have swapped the /64 and /56 in the address and pool definitions.

Don’t use something:: as an IP address, any subnet all-zeros address is reserved for the ‘all routers in the subnet’ anycast address.

Hi, thanks.

You appear to have swapped the /64 and /56 in the address and pool definitions.

So you suggest something like this?

/ipv6 address add interface=ether1 address=2a00:xxxx:32:yyyy::/64 advertise=no
/ipv6/route add dst-address=::/0 gateway=2a00:xxxx:32:zzzz::/64
/ipv6/pool add name=myISPpool prefix=2a00:xxxx:232:yyyy::/56 prefix-length=64



Don’t use > something:: > as an IP address, any subnet all-zeros address is reserved for the ‘all routers in the subnet’ anycast address.

How can I find the precise address for example for the gateway?

You can not guess what it should be, the ISP should provide it as they will be routing the block of subnets to it.

Their terminology is rather vague too - ‘IPv6 address’ does hints at being the WAN address but would typically be /64, not /56, and ‘routing prefix’ hints at the routed subnet but would typically be anything from /48 to /60, not /64.

Do they not support automatic configuration with SLAAC (for the WAN subnet and gateway) and DHCPv6 (for the delegated prefix)?

At the end it appears to be some misconfiguration at the ISP side… now it works, thanks.
