      Hi,

      I am trying to get a docker macvlan (there are reasons for macvlan) configured with IPv6, and it require a gateway address (https://docs.docker.com/network/macvlan/). I got my lan configured with IPv6 (track interface).

      Is it possible to give an interface which does is configured as a "track interface" a static address like for example ::1 ?

      And if not, does anyone know if it will be possible in the future (routerOS can do this).

      The IPv6 address prefix I'm getting from my provider is "mostly" static, but I'd like not to reconfigure something if the "mostly" address changes.

      Thanks.

        Depending on what you're doing, a unique local address may do what you want.

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...
