Turning on PIM also turns on the IGMP querier function so we therefor have turned on IGMP as query message is of type IGMP. I have never looked to see if we make a distinction between a multiaccess vlan interface and a point to point routed interface where it is not strictly needed but I assume we do not.

IGMP is enabled automatically when you enable PIM on an interface and
I can't figure out why. I've talked to a few other engineers and no
one can thing of why IGMP would need to be enabled on a
router-to-router connection running PIM. My only thought was that it
was a leftover from PIMv1, which used IGMP type 14 packets, but that's
a total guess.

Do any of you happen to know the answer to this piece of trivia?

Thanks!
