      I have 9 interfaces, I would like to enable PIMD for two of them. If I order them by VLAN number, one is 3rd (vlan 100), other is 9th (vlan 106). When I configure PIMD and look at status, I see only IPs related to first 6 interfaces (wan+first 5 vlans), so the first interface I want to use with PIMD (3rd VLAN, #100) is enabled but I dont even see the 9th (neither 7th and 8th). I changed the log level to debug and this is in the logs:

      ixl0.106 is configured exactly same as other interfaces (static IPv4). so why is this happening ?

      Edit: I tried to change vlan 106 to 60, so in vlan ordering it becomes my 2nd vlan, so I want 2nd and 3rd in PIMD. But still it lists the same interfaces above (same also after reboot).

      Edit2: I had interfaces individually enabled above. I also tried binding to all interfaces but the log is same, it does not see all the interfaces/vlans.

        @metebalci Strangely enough it seems to be working now, no idea what happened before.
