IGMP configuration task list
When you configure IGMP, follow these guidelines:
•
The configurations made in IGMP view are effective on all interfaces. The configurations made
in interface view are effective only on the current interface.
•
A configuration made in interface view always has priority over the same global configuration in
IGMP view. If you do not make the configuration in interface view, the corresponding global
configuration made in IGMP view applies to the interface.
