6to4

This page documents the MikroTik RouterOS 6to4 interface configuration, explaining how IPv6 packets can be transmitted over IPv4 networks without explicit tunneling. It details properties like MTU, keepalive settings, and IPsec integration, along with configuration examples for establishing 6to4 tunnels.

Common Firewall Matchers and Actions

This page explains MikroTik RouterOS firewall statistics and commands, detailing how to view matching stats for IPv4/IPv6 rules, reset counters, and lists common matchers like MAC addresses, interfaces, IP ranges, and ports used in firewall filtering.

Flood Ping

The Flood Ping tool in RouterOS sends continuous ICMP echo requests to test network stability, measure packet loss, and analyze latency under heavy traffic conditions with real-time statistics on sent/received packets and round-trip times.

IPv6 Addresses

This page introduces IPv6 addressing in MikroTik RouterOS, covering its benefits over IPv4, address types and syntax, simplified representation with zero compression, prefix notation, and the absence of broadcast addresses replaced by multicast.

IPv6 Neighbor Discovery

RouterOS supports IPv6 Neighbor Discovery and stateless address autoconfiguration using RADVD, adhering to RFC 4861 and 4862. It enables hosts to automatically configure IPv6 addresses via Router Advertisements, with states including tentative, preferred, deprecated, and invalid. Neighbor Discovery replaces IPv4 ARP and other protocols, facilitating router discovery

IPv6 PD over PPP

This page demonstrates configuring IPv6 Prefix Delegation over PPPoE in RouterOS, showing how to set up DHCPv6-PD pools on servers and clients, including interface configuration and verification of dynamic prefix delegation.

Torch

MikroTik Torch is a real-time traffic monitoring tool that observes network flow through interfaces, allowing analysis of source/destination addresses, ports, protocols, MACs, VLAN IDs, and DSCP values for troubleshooting.

VETH

VETH (Virtual Ethernet) provides network connectivity for containers in RouterOS, acting as a virtual interface that supports static and DHCP-assigned IPs, SLAAC, and can be integrated into bridges or routing setups.

WinBox

WinBox is a GUI utility for administering MikroTik RouterOS with Linux/macOS support via Wine, offering secure connections through AES128-CBC-SHA encryption and ECSRP authentication. It provides simple and advanced modes for connecting to routers, with neighbor discovery for discovering nearby devices while avoiding incompatible protocols.

ZeroTier

ZeroTier is a network virtualization engine for MikroTik RouterOS that enables secure, cross-network device connectivity via Ethernet virtualization and cryptographic peer-to-peer networks. It supports gaming, LAN access, NAT traversal, and remote Pi-Hole management while requiring proper UDP port configuration, NAT type selection, and minimal NAT layers for reliable connections.
