Ethernet over IP (EoIP) Tunneling is a MikroTik RouterOS protocol designed to create an Ethernet tunnel between two routers over an IP network.

Flag	Name	Description
X	disabled	Whether an item is disabled.
R	running	Whether the interface is running.

Argument	Type	Description
name	string	Name of the tunnel.
mtu	num	Layer3 maximum transmission unit. Default: auto — the router subtracts the EoIP/IPv6 overhead from the path MTU (actual-mtu is 1444 on a 1500-byte path).
mac-address	macAddr	Media Access Control number of an interface. Any value is accepted; the auto-generated address is a locally administered one. IANA allows free use of the range from 00:00:5E:80:00:00 to 00:00:5E:FF:FF:FF (private unicast).
local-address	ip6Addr	Source address of the tunnel packets, local to the router. Default — the address of the interface used to reach the remote end.
remote-address ( mandatory )	address (flags=6Dvi)	IPv6 address of the remote end of the EoIP tunnel.
tunnel-id ( mandatory )	num	Unique tunnel identifier, which must match the other side of the tunnel.
keepalive	super { keepalive-interval: time [1 .. ] , [keepalive-retries] [ ,num [1 .. ]] }	The router removes the interface running flag when the remote end does not answer for KeepaliveInterval × KeepaliveRetries. Parameters are written in the following format: KeepaliveInterval,KeepaliveRetries where KeepaliveInterval is the time interval and KeepaliveRetries is the number of retry attempts. Keepalive is enabled by default (10s,10). Setting it to a disabled value (0,0, off, none) is rejected; unsetting keepalive turns it off entirely — the running flag is then no longer removed when the remote end stops answering.
dscp	num	DSCP value of the packet. Inherited means the DSCP value is inherited from the packet to be encapsulated.
clamp-tcp-mss	bool	Controls whether to change MSS size for received TCP SYN packets. When enabled, the router changes the MSS size for received TCP SYN packets if the current MSS size exceeds the tunnel interface MTU (taking into account the TCP/IP overhead). The received encapsulated packet still contains the original MSS, and only after decapsulation the MSS is changed.
dont-fragment	bool	Whether to include the DF bit in related packets. Default: no. no - fragment if needed. inherit - use the DF flag of the original packet.
ipsec-secret (syscap=security)	string	When a secret is specified, the router adds a dynamic IPsec peer to remote-address with a pre-shared key and policy (by default phase2 uses sha1/aes128cbc). This menu has no allow-fast-path property, so IPsec does not compete with fast path here.
arp	enum (disabled | enabled | proxy-arp | reply-only | local-proxy-arp) { disabled:0, enabled:1, proxy-arp:2, reply-only:3, local-proxy-arp:4 }	Address Resolution Protocol mode.
arp-timeout	alt { arp-timeout: enum (auto) { auto:0 } , arp-timeout: time }	Time interval in which ARP entries time out.
arp-accept	bool	Whether to accept gratuitous ARP replies.
loop-protect	enum (default | off | on) { default:0, off:1, on:2 }	Enables or disables loop protect on the selected interface. default works as turned off.
loop-protect-send-interval	time	Sets how often loop protect packets are sent on the selected interface.
loop-protect-disable-time	time	Sets how long the selected interface is disabled when a loop is detected.

Read-only Argument	Type	Description
actual-mtu	num	Actual maximum transmission unit of the tunnel.
l2mtu	num	Layer2 maximum transmission unit. Not configurable for EoIP; reports 65535.
current-remote-address	ip6Addr	Current IPv6 address of the remote end.
loop-protect-status	enum (off | on | disabled) { off:1, on:2, disabled:3 }	Loop protection status: on - loop protect is enabled and the interface is sending and listening for loop protect packets off - loop protect is disabled disabled - loop protect is enabled, the interface has received a loop protect packet and disabled itself to prevent a loop.
