Re: Unable to ping Multicast group.

It depends on the question. It could be there is a bulletpoint saying
a certain prefix needs to be reachable from some router' loopback.

Are you sure the correct routes are advertised to the BB? Seeing the
route on your own router is not enough as you need a return path. As I
read your question it seems the BB doesn't have the correct routes.
