IpV6 - Mirkotik does not pick up IP Addresses?

Wed Apr 20, 2011 8:24 am

How can I set this up?

On my uplink I am getting IP from my data center. if I bridget that interface, the comuters I add there get IP addresses asigned ;) Nice.

Sadly the Mikrotik does not. I also find no option anywhere to enable this. How is this supposed to work? Do I have to MANUALLY set up an IP Address? That would be inconvenient ;) Mising feature on the todo list? Similar bad, but I can easily let it rest some months.

IPv6 RFC initially stated that Routers must not receive advertised addresses, that is why RouterOS can't do it. However we will change it in the future, it is in a todo list.

Thanks. All I need to know ;) I wondered whether there is a setting. Obviously for scenarios like mine ("cluster core router in a data center" as well as CPE) it makes sense to pick up IP addresses advertised by the next higher router without complicated routing protocols.

Thanks for the info. Will put Ipv6 on the backburner for some months and then see what has happened.
