Hi all,
This weekend I was trying for the first time to get IPv6 working. I got an HE tunnel with the usual /64 and a /48 for my other networks.
All seems fine and not as horrifying as first looked upon 
Then I ran in to troubleā¦
I must have done something wrong but I can not figure out whatā¦
The problem is that I can not assign an IPv6 address to a bridge interface. I have a static mac address on the interfaces but still no luck.
I did try thisā¦
/interface bridge add name=lobridge auto-mac=no admin-mac=01:00:00:00:01:00
# loopback address
/ipv6 address add address=2001:abc:defg:3::1/64 advertise=no interface=lobridge
And it workedā¦ But using the same admin-mac on the ārealā bridge did not work 
As an troubleshooting effort I connected a computer to local interface āInternalā and it worked instantly. So it seems to be only bridge interfaces affected by this.
I have also rebooted several times. Still no luck.
Here is my current setup. As you can see in the last code section bridge1 and bridge2 is unreachableā¦ Any ideas why and how I can fix it?

Updateā¦
I reviewed the log files this evening and saw thisā¦
21:43:37 radvd,debug skip Router Advertisement sending on bridge1: no link local address
21:45:51 radvd,debug skip Router Advertisement sending on bridge2: no link local address
Best regards,
