NOTE:
•
In IGMP snooping view, the configuration is effective for all VLANs. In VLAN view, the
configuration is effective for only the ports that belong to the current VLAN. For a given VLAN,
the configuration made in IGMP snooping view is not effective if you make the same
configuration in VLAN view.
•
In IGMP snooping view, the configuration is effective for all ports. In Ethernet interface view or
Layer 2 aggregate interface view, the configuration is effective for only the current port. In port
group view, the configuration is effective for only all ports in the current port group. For a given
port, the configuration made in IGMP snooping view is not effective if you make the same
configuration in Ethernet interface view, Layer 2 aggregate interface view or port group view.
•
For IGMP snooping, the configuration on a Layer 2 aggregate interface does not interfere with
that on its member ports, nor does the configuration takes part in aggregation calculations. The
configuration on a member port of the aggregate group will take effect after it leaves the
aggregate group.
