ALLOWING IPV6 TRAFFIC TO DEVICE WITH DYNAMIC IPV6 PREFIX BEHIND FIREWALL

Tue Oct 05, 2021 7:22 pm

IP6TABLES https://linux.die.net/man/8/ip6tables allows specifying a mask when matching destination address
so we can use
/ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:0000:0000:0000:0000 
(equeal to /ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::)


as the mask to represent
/64
The pointer is,when I want to match the last 64 bit part ,I can use mask
/0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:
(equeal to /::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
This is very useful when I have a dynamic IPV6 prefix and want my routeros to allow some device behind firewall to be visited by outside

I can do this easily with IP6TABLES
ip6tables -I FORWARD -d ::aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd/::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
I can't do it with routeros
