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.

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.
