Duplicate Address Detected IPv6?

Wed May 20, 2020 3:51 am

Can someone explain this to me, I found it doesn't go away even if I switch from a /64 on say 1873 to 1875 etc. Randomly it goes away or this issue spreads.

I am about as stupid as it gets to IPv6 on MikroTik, so any help is appreciated.

My ISP gives me a /60 if that helps.

@archerious Did you get any answers on this - it's making our routers unusable.

The fix for (horrific IPv6 issues) on RouterOS was to disable and re-enable all IPv6 addresses at startup - but that doesn't seem to resolve this specific issue.

Re: Duplicate Address Detected IPv6?  [SOLVED]

Have you tried to enable 'EUI-64' in address? Maybe another device is trying to use the same address (prefix obtained with all the other bits 0). If you construct your IP address using the prefix + EUI-64 you shouldn't have this problem

That fixed it! I don't see any other devices using the exact prefix, but enabling EUI64 resolved it!

Do you have a donation link? This saved me so much, god bless you!

It happens very easily on Linux network stack. If Linux considers itself a router (which is the same as having "forwarding" enabled), it will claim the all-zeros address, EDIT: even though it will never explicitly appear in
ip address show
. If you have VMs, Docker containers, etc., you will automatically have forwarding turned on.

As things are now, trying to suppress this behaviour is an exercise in futility.

I had the same problem and the v6addr became invalid.
This was confirmed in RB4011 7.1rc6 and 7.1stable.

A temporary workaround was to shutdown all I/F on the router except the WAN, enable/add the address, and then enable the interfaces.
This would allow the v6 address to be used, but once the router rebooted, the address would be disabled again.

I think the problem is that it happens even if I set the "No DAD" option for the address.

I just hit this issue on an RB750gr3 running v7.8

@jprietove's fix of enabling eui64 has resolved it.
