Hello,
from man pim6sd:
"pim6sd requires the node running the daemon to have an IPv6 global
address.".
Does that mean that it must have an IPv6 address which
it address has a global type?
Namely, must it be an address which starts with a global prefix, like
2001::....?
Or, if I will set a multicast address thus:
ff::43/64 ; it's scope is Global;
is it regarded an IPv6 global address?
Second: is there a way to prevent the pim6sd daemon to send the PIM
hello messages, which it does regularly ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Ian
