Configurations performed in IGMP view are effective on all interfaces, while
configurations performed in interface view are effective on the current interface only.
z
If a feature is not configured for an interface in interface view, the global
configuration performed in IGMP view will apply to that interface. If a feature is
configured in both IGMP view and interface view, the configuration performed in
interface view will be given priority.
