For the configuration tasks in this section:
•
In IGMP snooping view, the configurations that you make are effective in all VLANs. In VLAN view,
the configurations that you make are effective on only the ports that belong to the current VLAN. For
a given VLAN, a configuration that you make in IGMP snooping view is effective only if you do not
make the same configuration in VLAN view.
