Hi Mikael,

Have you enabled the CE facing interfaces under "router igmp" please? (oh and 
XR uses IGMPv3 by default).
- but can't recall if it worked at the end or the PIM was indeed necessary.

I am not using IGMP since this is IPv6 and I'm using MLD instead.

So I have now worked around this issue by letting XR enable PIM&MLD on all interfaces (using the "interface all" statement under "multicast-routing"), but implementing a PIM IPv6-wide neighbor-filter to only allow the router-to-router interfaces to form PIM neighborship, plus configuring "version" directly under "router mld".

This way it seems I get away from having interface-unique entries under router pim and router mld.

I still don't understand why the design choice to require PIM to be running on a client-interface, was made.
