Hello Guys,
i have serveral MT devices in service but at my sisters home I received a strange habbit.

The configuration is as follwed:
Site A (my home): DTAG Dual-Stack Internet Connection, severall IPIP Tunnels, OVPN Server Everything works well (RouterOS 6.49.6)
Site B (sisters home): Net-Dologne DS-lite Internet Connection. And this is a little bit complicated.... I found no way to get it working, using the AFTR-Address which is comming via an DHCP Option. Therefore we build up an IPIPv6 Tunnel (with IPSEC) to site A and route all the traffic through this tunnel.
This works fine, until the router on site B lost its connection or ist rebooted. Then nothing works. I got no traffic via IPv6 and therefore the tunnel is not build up.

My configuration:

[admin@MikroTik_Router0_EN] > /interface pppoe-client/print

   DAc   dst-address=fe80::%vlan1/64 routing-table=main gateway=vlan1 immediate-gw=vlan1 distance=0 scope=10

After reboot, the pppoe-out1 Interface got a privat IPv6 Adrees (fe80...), but the DHCP-client is bound and received a prefix.
Fixing the problem is deficult. Some times disabling/enabling the dhcp-client is successfull, sometimes, I need to do this with the pppoe-out, sometime (and this is now the case!) i have to set add-default-route=no in the DHCP-client.
But after the nex reboot, it is possible that I have to enable this option again.
Is this a feature or a bug, or did I missconfigured something?
The Router on Site A ist configured in the same way and everything works.

I hope someone can help me,
Julian

In fact, add-default-route=no in DHCPv6 client is correct, because DHCPv6 does not provide gateway at all. What this option does is that it simply uses address of DHCPv6 server as gateway, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I don't have much experience with PPPoE and zero with PPPoE & IPv6, but it looks like the first route comes from it, so keep DHCPv6's add-default-route=no all the time and everything should (probably) work.

On one of my installations ISP provides service via PPPoE. Indeed setting add-default-route=no on DHCPv6 client (while having similar setting on PPPoE client enabled) is just fine, part of /ipv6 route print is

Flags: X - disabled, A - active, D - dynamic, C - connect, S - static, r - rip, o - ospf, b - bgp,
U - unreachable
 #      DST-ADDRESS              GATEWAY                  DISTANCE
 0 ADS  ::/0                     pppoe-out1                      1

while /ipv6 address print shows

Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic, G - global, L - link-local
 #    ADDRESS                                     FROM-POOL INTERFACE                     ADVERTISE
11 DL fe80::e/64                                            pppoe-out1                    no

N.B. the router is running 6.49.5, so the output is slightly different, the settings should behave pretty similarly.
