I am just starting an IPv6 connection with one of our upstream providers.
I have a mikrotik router that they are connecting to on a fibre sfp port with ipv4 working. They gave me an IP address and I added it to the port. I am getting a “duplicate address detected” error on the IP. They swear it’s not a duplicate and Mikrotik tells me they use standards. I don’t know what to do at this point to get it right. I can unplug the port, disable then enable the port, and plug it in and it works….. but if the router reboots or if I disable the port for any reason we get the same error. I just lit up a second IPv6 connection with the same provider. It’s on a different network and it’s doing the same error. Does anyone know of a problem with Mikrotik and IPv6 or is my provider not configuring something correctly. I also don’t have a loopback on that interface because I read somewhere that it could cause that issue. ____________________________________ John Babineaux System Administrator REACH4 Communications | Website: <http://www.reach4com.com/> www.REACH4Com.com Phone: 337-783-3436 x105 | Email: john.babine...@reach4com.com 927 N Parkerson Ave, Crowley, LA 70526
