The MLD 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 configuration made on a member port of the aggregate group takes effect after the port leaves the aggregate group.
