Note:
z
Configurations performed in IGMP view are effective on all interfaces, while
configurations performed in Ethernet port view are effective on the current interface
only.
z
If a feature is not configured for an interface in Ethernet port view, the global
configuration performed in IGMP view will apply to that interface. If a feature is
configured in both IGMP view and Ethernet port view, the configuration performed in
Ethernet port view will be given priority.
5.3 Configuring Basic Functions of IGMP
5.3.1 Configuration Prerequisites
Before configuring the basic functions of IGMP, complete the following tasks:
z
Configure any unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are
