For the configuration tasks in this section:
• In MLD-snooping view, the configurations that you make are effective in all VLANs . In VLAN view,
the configurations that you make are effective only on the ports that belong to the current VLAN. For
a given VLAN, a configuration that you make in MLD-snooping view is effective only if you do not
make the same configuration in VLAN view.
• In MLD-snooping view, the configurations that you make are effective on all ports. In Layer 2
Ethernet interface view or Layer 2 aggregate interface view, the configurations that you make are
effective only on the current port. For a given port, a configuration that you make in MLD-snooping
