ND Proxy

Thu Dec 05, 2024 10:35 am

Hi

I said to the AI on mikrotik.com: "I need ND proxy". I did not expect to get an answer but this is what it said:
To set up an ND (Neighbor Discovery) proxy on a MikroTik device, you will need to configure it to handle IPv6 Neighbor Discovery messages. This is useful in scenarios where you need to extend an IPv6 network segment across different network segments.

Here's a basic outline of how you can configure ND proxy on a MikroTik router:
Enable IPv6 Package: Ensure that the IPv6 package is enabled on your MikroTik device. You can do this by navigating to System -> Packages and checking if IPv6 is enabled.
Configure ND Proxy: Use the following command to set up ND proxy on the desired interfaces:

/ipv6 nd
set [find] interface=ether1 proxy=yes
set [find] interface=ether2 proxy=yes
Replace ether1 and ether2 with the actual interface names you want to use for ND proxy.

Verify Configuration: After setting up, you can verify the configuration by checking the ND proxy settings:
/ipv6 nd print

This configuration will allow your MikroTik router to act as an ND proxy, forwarding Neighbor Discovery messages between the specified
This answer made me really happy at first. But when I tried to "set [find] interface=ether2 proxy=yes", the cli doesn't recognize the command. I installed 7.17rc2 with the same result.

Is this something that the AI made up on its own, or is it something that is actually in the pipeline?

Biggest problem of these times ...

AI making things up and most are unable to determine what's right or wrong and just think is has to be right.
It LOOKS right but it is not, as you have seen.

There is no proxy-property to be set in ROS7.

It looks to me this is coming from ROS6 because The Dude (new Mikrotik Support AI bot) specifies you first need to install the IPV6 package, which is a ROS6 thing.
Step 1: Enable IPv6 Package
Ensure that the IPv6 package is enabled on your MikroTik router. You can verify this by navigating to System > Packages and checking that the IPv6 package is listed and enabled.
So you not only need to read the command lines, you also need to read what comes before. And that may sometimes already give a clue as to where it applies to.

PS and I dont know how it should be done in ROS7. Haven't touched IP6 yet although I should, if only to learn how it goes for myself.
Project for next year ...

Thanks, I think you are right. It has probably merged information from different contexts.
