No IPv6 Prefix showing on interface

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hi,
I have enabled IPv6, and received a prefix from my ISP. When I try and add an ipv6 address to the bridge interface for the hosts on the LAN to use, the prefix is not set on the address.
I am following the example from https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IPv6/DHCP_Client#Use_received_prefix_for_local_RA


/ipv6> address add address=::1/64 from-pool=pool6 interface=bridge advertise=yes

/ipv6> address print detail
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic, G - global, L - link-local

3 IG address=::1/64 from-pool=pool6 interface=bridge actual-interface=bridge eui-64=no advertise=yes no-dad=no

The system details and ipv6 setup is:

/ipv6> /system routerboard print
routerboard: yes
board-name: hAP ac^2
model: RBD52G-5HacD2HnD
serial-number: A97709721D80
firmware-type: ipq4000L
factory-firmware: 6.42.3
current-firmware: 6.43.5
upgrade-firmware: 6.43.12

/ipv6 dhcp-client print detail
Flags: D - dynamic, X - disabled, I - invalid
0 ;;; Pool for IPv6
interface=ether1 status=bound duid=“0x00030001b869f4f01e40” dhcp-server-v6=fe80::4e16:fcff:fe2e:d093
request=prefix add-default-route=yes default-route-distance=1 use-peer-dns=yes pool-name=“pool6”
pool-prefix-length=64 prefix-hint=::/56 dhcp-options=“” prefix=2001:8003:7c55:XXXX::/56, 23h34m23s

/ipv6> pool print detail
Flags: D - dynamic
0 name=“pool6” prefix=::/56 prefix-length=6

Thanks

Did you create the pool (in /ipv6 pool) manually? That would be wrong, DHCPv6 client does that.

Yes, I created a pool, then selected the pool when I added the DHCP client.
I just removed the address, the DHCP client, and the pool, then added a DHCP client, and let the client create the pool.
The address now works
address print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic, G - global, L - link-local
