MikroTik IPv6 Engineer with LABS

Discover how IPv6 addresses are distributed from IANA to RIRs and ISPs, then to customers, and examine the remaining 128-bit address pools used by local Internet registries.

IANA holds the entire ipv6 space and allocates a /3 to regional internet registries, which pass allocations to local registries and isp for end users, with provider independent assignments.

Explore IPv6 address notation by understanding hextets, 128-bit length, and hexadecimal representation. Learn to apply leading zeros removal and compress consecutive zeros with colons to produce concise, readable addresses.

Discover how IPv6 uses prefix lengths to separate network and host portions and identify address types, including public and private IPv6 addresses.

Discover how to determine the IPv6 prefix and the network versus host parts using slash notation, with /64 examples, hex-to-binary conversion, and zero filling.

Explore IPv6 address types, including link-local, global unicast, multicast, and unique local, with explanations of 6to4 lookback and unspecified and anycast concepts.

Explore IPv6 link-local addresses, automatically generated with the UI64 method using the MAC address and fe80 prefix, for local neighborhood discovery and next-hop routing in a single subnet.

Discover IPv6 unique local addresses, private by design and not routed to the internet. Learn the fc00::/7 prefix, the fc00::/8 and fd00::/8 divisions, and internal subnetting.

Explore IPv6 multicast addresses, learn why they always start with ff, and examine examples like ff02 for link-local multicast on the local segment.

Discover IPv6 global unicast addresses, their role as public internet addresses, and how they differ from IPv4 public addresses, with foundational context for upcoming MikroTik labs.

Enable IPv6 on MikroTik, then connect to the router. Explore stateless auto configuration (slaac) and DHCPv6 for assigning IPv6 addresses to clients.

Learn to enable IPv6 on a MikroTik router and connect with Winbox over IPv6, verify link-local addresses, and test connectivity between the router and the PC across IPv6.

Explore IPv6 subnetting with global unicast addresses, prefix rules, and /64 networks; learn how /48 or /60 prefixes yield multiple subnets, and configure MikroTik to assign addresses to users.

Configure slaac for ipv6 addressing on MikroTik routers by implementing stateless auto configuration, router advertisements and solicitations, create a /60 pool and /64 subnets, and advertise dns to hosts.

Explain ipv6 dhcpv6 prefix delegation, showing how an isp assigns a /40 prefix to customers and delegates /48s to networks, while MikroTik supports prefix delegation only.

Configure dhcpv6 prefix delegation on MikroTik to distribute /48 prefixes from a /40 pool to two customers, with DNS and prefix management through a lab setup.

This lecture introduces configuring IPv6 routing in MikroTik, covering static routes, default routes, and an overview of IPv6 routing protocols through hands-on labs.

Learn to configure IPv6 static routes and default routes on MikroTik routers, using bridge interfaces to emulate networks and verify connectivity with ping in a hands-on lab.

Learn how to configure IPv6 RIPng (RIP next generation) on MikroTik, replacing static routes with dynamic routing using link-local multicast updates on the bridge and advertising interfaces for automatic routing.

Configure ipv6 ospfv3 using visionstream sbf on MikroTik, enable sbf, advertise bridge interfaces in area zero, establish neighbors, and verify routing convergence.

Explore configuring IPv6 firewall rules on MikroTik, including mangle and other options, and learn why NAT is unnecessary with IPv6, plus a lab on configuring IPsec.

Configure an IPsec tunnel on an IPv6 network by establishing phase one and phase two, selecting authentication, encryption, and Diffie-Hellman parameters, and validating connectivity between lab devices.

Configure ip-in-ip tunneling to encapsulate ipv4 traffic inside ipv6, enabling two networks to communicate via a tunnel and verify ipv4 routing over ipv6 in a dedicated lab.

Learn to configure an IPv6 ip-in-ip tunnel between two MikroTik routers, assign tunnel endpoints, enable ripng, advertise the lan networks, verify connectivity with pings, and access remote hosts.

Configure a gre6 tunnel to connect ipv4 networks across an ipv6 isp, creating tunnel interfaces, assigning ipv4 addresses inside the tunnel, and advertising the networks with ospf on the routers.

Use an IPv6 tunnel broker to connect an IPv4-only network to the IPv6 internet. Learn to configure the tunnel on your router and why a public IPv4 address is required.

Set up MikroTik IPv6 lab by creating a 6to4 tunnel with Hurricane Electric and ensure a public IP on the WAN so the PC can reach an IPv6 server.

Configure a 6to4 tunnel on a MikroTik router using the Hurricane Electric broker, assign a /64 IPv6 on the internet interface, and verify connectivity via Google IPv6 DNS.
