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 for all VLANs. The configuration
made in VLAN view are effective for only the current VLAN. For a given VLAN, a configuration
made in IGMP-snooping view is effective only if you do not make the same configuration in
VLAN view.
•
The configurations made in IGMP-snooping view are effective for all ports. The configurations
made in Layer 2 Ethernet interface view or Layer 2 aggregate interface view are effective for
only the current port. The configurations made in port group view are effective for all ports in
only the current port group. For a given port, a configuration made in IGMP-snooping view is
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.
•
The IGMP snooping configurations made on Layer 2 aggregate interfaces do not interfere with
the configurations made on member ports. In addition, the configurations made on Layer 2
aggregate interfaces do not 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.
