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.

DHCPv6 Client

The RouterOS DHCPv6 client requests IPv6 addresses and delegated prefixes (DHCPv6-PD) from a DHCPv6 server, adds received prefixes to IPv6 pools, and can run scripts on status changes.

DHCPv6 Server

The RouterOS DHCPv6 server delegates IPv6 prefixes (DHCPv6-PD) and assigns IPv6 addresses to clients, with static bindings, RADIUS support and per-binding rate limiting.

Flood Ping

Flood ping sends a series of up to 1000 ICMP echo requests in one run and shows only the totals: requests sent, replies received and the shortest, average and longest round-trip time. It needs the traffic-gen device-mode feature.

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 by using RADVD, adhering to RFC 4861 and 4862. It enables hosts to automatically configure IPv6 addresses through 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

Torch shows the traffic that passes one interface right now, grouped into flows by address, protocol, port and DSCP, with the rate in each direction. Find the host that uses the bandwidth, watch one protocol or port, check VLAN tags and DSCP marking, see traffic that the firewall drops, and see which CPU handles it.

VETH

A veth connects a container to RouterOS: one end is a router interface, the other the container's network interface. Put a container behind NAT or on the LAN with DHCP, IPv4 and IPv6.

WinBox v3 (Legacy)

WinBox v3 is a GUI utility for administering MikroTik RouterOS with Linux/macOS support via Wine. This legacy page covers the Wine-based WinBox v3 — use WinBox v4 for a native cross-platform experience.

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.
