MikroTik MTCIPv6E practice labs

8 guided labs on RouterOS 7 that follow the MTCIPv6E training outline: IPv6 addresses and SLAAC, DHCPv6 prefix delegation from an ISP to a customer router, neighbour discovery and router advertisement tuning, the IPv6 firewall and RA protection, transition and tunnels from 6in4 to DS-Lite, PPPoE with IPv6, and OSPFv3 and BGP, ending in a troubleshooting capstone.

Who these labs are for

For engineers who hold the MTCNA and are preparing for the MTCIPv6E course and exam, and ISP, WISP and enterprise engineers rolling out IPv6 on MikroTik routers.

DHCPv6 address assignment, 6to4, 6RD and Teredo are explained rather than built.

The 8 labs

Every lab in the folder, as the workspace lists them, with what each runs and the smallest plan that fits. Read on 2 November 2026.

One IPv6 topic per lab, ending in a capstone that troubleshoots a customer’s IPv6 roll-out.

  1. 01IPv6 addressing address types and SLAAC

    Fernvale's Harbourside office gets its first IPv6 addresses from Fernvale's /48. Plan the subnets, read the link-local and EUI-64 addresses RouterOS creates, give the staff LAN a prefix that hosts configure themselves with SLAAC, address a server statically, and see multicast, neighbour discovery and the IPv6 header at work.

  2. 02DHCPv6 prefix delegation from ISP to customer router

    Fernvale's ISP network hands each business customer a /56 by DHCPv6 prefix delegation. Build the ISP's pool and DHCPv6 server, make a customer router request a prefix over a WAN link that has only link-local addresses, carve /64s for two LANs from the delegated pool, and let the PCs on both configure themselves.

  3. 03Neighbour discovery - RA tuning router preference DAD and MLD

    Harbourside's office LAN has two routers and hosts that configure themselves, so everything depends on neighbour discovery. Capture router advertisements with tcpdump and tune them: interval, lifetimes, MTU, hop limit, DNS, the M and O flags and router preference. Then watch duplicate address detection fail on purpose, read neighbour states, turn on temporary addresses, and let the bridge snoop MLD.

  4. 04IPv6 firewall and protection against rogue router advertisements

    With IPv6 there's no NAT to hide behind: every PC at Harbourside has a global address, and the ISP can reach the web service one of them runs. Build a stateful IPv6 firewall that keeps the ICMPv6 that IPv6 needs, then stop a misconfigured router on a meeting-room port from handing out its own prefix and default route with a bridge filter that acts as RA guard.

  5. 05Transition - 6in4 DS-Lite by hand with IPIPv6 GRE6 and EoIPv6

    Not every Fernvale site has both protocols. Give an IPv4-only branch IPv6 through a 6in4 tunnel, give an IPv6-only customer IPv4 through a DS-Lite softwire you build from an IPIPv6 tunnel and NAT44, and join two IPv6 sites at layer 3 with GRE6 and at layer 2 with EoIPv6, then watch the MTU shrink with every tunnel.

  6. 06PPPoE with IPv6 - per-session prefixes and delegation

    Fernvale's broadband customers connect with PPPoE. Make the access concentrator dual-stack: an IPv4 address from a pool, a /64 for the PPP link and a /56 delegated over DHCPv6 for every session, all from one PPP profile. Connect two customer routers, number a LAN from the delegated prefix, and see what the concentrator creates for each session.

  7. 07Routing IPv6 - OSPFv3 over link-local links and BGP to an upstream

    Fernvale's Harbourside core runs IPv6 on transit links that have no global addresses at all. Bring up OSPFv3 between three routers over link-local addresses, advertise loopbacks and the office LAN, announce Fernvale's /48 to an upstream with eBGP for IPv6, and pass the upstream's default route into OSPFv3 so an office PC reaches the Internet.

  8. 08Capstone - troubleshooting a customers IPv6 roll-out

    A business customer's IPv6 roll-out has stalled: the router never gets a prefix, and when it does there's only room for one LAN, the PCs have addresses but no way out, and ping fails although the web works. Four faults are planted across the ISP's prefix delegation, the customer's firewall and its router advertisements. Find each one from its symptom, fix it, and finish numbering the office and guest LANs.

How to open the labs

  1. Sign in to your workspace at lab.cloudlabbox.com.

  2. In File Manager, open Shared, then the folder MikroTik MTCIPv6E RouterOS v7 guided labs.

  3. Open a lab and start its nodes, then open Lab Tasks for the steps.

The labs are read-only. You can start the nodes and configure the devices, but changes to the topology can’t be saved. To change a lab, rebuild it in your own folder.

Questions about the MikroTik MTCIPv6E labs

Are these MikroTik MTCIPv6E labs free?

They’re included with every lab plan, with nothing extra to pay, rather than free. Plans start at £3 a day or £0.50 an hour. To try one first, the free demo gives you 30 minutes with 6 vCPU and 8 GB, enough to run every one of these labs.

Which plan do I need for these labs?

Lite, with 6 vCPU and 8 GB, runs every lab here. EVE-NG admits a node by the vCPU and RAM configured on it, so a lab needs the total its running nodes are set to. The biggest here, “Routing IPv6 - OSPFv3 over link-local links and BGP to an upstream”, needs 5 vCPU and 1,536 MB. Each lab’s Lab Tasks pane names the plan it needs.

Can I change these labs?

You can start the nodes and configure the devices, but the labs are read-only: changes to the topology can’t be saved. To change one, rebuild it in your own folder.

Are these labs from MikroTik?

No. CloudLabBox wrote them to follow the topics of MikroTik’s MTCIPv6E (MikroTik Certified IPv6 Engineer) training outline. They aren’t training material from MikroTik, and CloudLabBox is independent of MikroTik.
