IGMP snooping configuration task list
For the configuration tasks in this section, the following rules apply:
•
The configurations made in IGMP-snooping view are effective on all VLANs. The configurations
made in VLAN view are effective on only the current VLAN. For a given VLAN, the configurations
made in IGMP-snooping view are effective only if you do not make the same configuration in VLAN
view.
•
The configurations made in IGMP-snooping view are effective on all ports. The configurations made
in Layer 2 Ethernet interface view or Layer 2 aggregate interface view are effective on only the
current port. The configurations made in port group view are effective on all ports in only the current
port group. For a given port, the configurations made in IGMP-snooping view are effective only if
you do not make the same configuration in Layer 2 Ethernet interface view, Layer 2 aggregate
interface view, or port group view.
•
For IGMP snooping, the configurations made on a Layer 2 aggregate interface do not interfere with
the configurations on its member ports, nor do they take part in aggregation calculations. The
configurations made on a member port of the aggregate group will take effect after the port leaves
the aggregate group.
