Router OS 6.38.5 Ping IPv6 Host by Name Fails

  • Find / create a hostname that only resolves with a AAAA record (no A record).
  • From the command line ping that hostname.
  • Fail.

Am I doing something wrong or does Router OS simply not support pinging an IPv6 host by name?

invalid value for argument address:
    invalid value of mac-address, mac address required
    invalid value for argument ipv6-address
    failure: dns name exists, but no appropriate record
