IPv6 work only after disable/enable address

I have a problem on all routers in my network. Sometime IPv6 address stop to work and after disable/enable IPv6 address everything work ok. I have this problem on all routers and on all versions ROS, does someone have solution for the problem?

scenario:

  1. add ip address to interface

  2. ping gateway:
    xxxx:xxxx::1 56 62 1ms echo reply
    xxxx:xxxx::1 56 62 1ms echo reply
    xxxx:xxxx::1 56 62 1ms echo reply
    xxxx:xxxx::1 56 62 1ms echo reply

  3. add default route

  4. ping gateway:

xxxx:xxxx::1 timeout
xxxx:xxxx::1 timeout
xxxx:xxxx::1 timeout
xxxx:xxxx::1 timeout

  1. disable/enable ipv6 address

  2. ping gateway:
    xxxx:xxxx::1 56 62 1ms echo reply
    xxxx:xxxx::1 56 62 1ms echo reply
    xxxx:xxxx::1 56 62 1ms echo reply
    xxxx:xxxx::1 56 62 1ms echo reply

Same problem when I reconnect PPPoE client(disable pppoe-out1 on WAN port), I must disable/enable IPv6 address on a LAN interface to work.

where you have PPPoE try RouterOS 6.7 the other issue is still in the works (disable/enable for ipv6 address to work again)

I have same problem on 6.7. When client is reconnected with PPPoE IPv6 is not working anymore so IPv6 must be disabled/enabled on LAN interface on CPE router.

I am having similar problem. Causes long delays until PC figures out IPv6 does not work.

I had this problem with 5.x I cannot remember which versions specifically. It was fixed in a later release. Anyway, I had a script that ran when a certain IPv6 host could not be contacted, I think using netwatch. Then the script disabled, paused, enabled the required interfaces. In one of the 5.x versions, I even had to re-set the IPv6 address in the script otherwise the interface became invalid.

Good luck!

I have a problem with IPv6 address on LAN interface when disable/enable or reconect wan (PPPoE client interface). I can ping IPv6 destination from router but not from PC. And problem persist on 6.7, you can see on video.

Looks like the old problem I used to have. Router Advertisements send stale information or: Stop when disable interface, but do not start when enable interface. Changing something else after, helps it along.

See the script I posted about half way through, how to find route with script, disable and enable it. Attach script to netwatch for an ipv6 address.

Hope this helps.

Having the same problem, makes ipv6 unusable.
