Yes. That's because some of a PIM-SM protocol message (PIM-Register/Register-Stop) requires a global unicast address. #In some cases PIM-Register/Register-Stop is not used. As it is #not always so obvious, pim6sd requires a global unicast address. > Second: is there a way to prevent the pim6sd daemon to send the PIM > hello messages, which it does regularly ? Please specify the following command in your pim6sd.conf, where xxx is the interface name you want to disable PIM-SM. phyint xxx disable; Thanks. ---- SUZUKI, Shinsuke
