Hi there.
I’m new to Mikrotik, but I have read a lot of typical cases and manuals how to properly configure RB. And I have a few problems:
-
Strange IPv6 support (why with external package, but whatever, it’s your disign) - my provider gives me /56 prefix pool and only for 30 minutes, and it replies from local link address starting on fe80. I’ve configured DHCPv6 client for address/pool/dns/route, DHCPv6 server with requested pool, set up IPv6 firewall for ICMP etc. For first time everything looks like it is working, I can obtain IPv6 address, access IPv6 internet resoures, see local neighbors, and online tests gave me 10/10 IPv6 support. Great. But. If I reboot RB IPv6 doesn’t work anymore, in DHCPv6 client I see previous lease with error status, and I can renew it or just wait until countdown (<30min). If I disable wan (DHCP client) interface and re-enable it I’ll get the same error. My current solution is scheduled script to renew IPv6 DHCP client after 15 seconds since reboot of RB, but for my opinion this is bad solution. So why it is happening and how to fix/avoid it?

This is the first time I have situation that WoL isn’t working not because of misconfiguration on client-side. I can’t even see broadcast packets inside lan (ports led not even blinking on RB, external switch and NIC’s), and even inside one cpu switch. And that happened with default pre-shipped configuration, all ports are in bridge from two cpu switches (except one port for wan), without firewall. What can it be?
I love RouterOS for tons of other features that I’ve already configured and use, but that two basic features must work out-of-box, like in any other cheap router.
And the last part is very frustrating work with VLAN, I’ve found 3 different places where I can configure it in different ways… In any other branded L2/L3 switch I just click what I want - tagged or untagged VLAN on ports that I want, very easy and even don’t need to read manual, all of them working with the same configuring style. But that’s not question, I heard that in RouterOS 7 it will be more easier and understandable UI for VLAN.
