5.In the Assignment Type field, select Hash or Even from the drop-down menu. See "Distinguishing Between Even and Hash Assignment Types" on page 111 for information and condtions regarding Hash and Even assignment types

NOTE: The Even VLAN pool assignment type is only supported in tunnel and dtunnel modes. It is not supported in split or bridge modes. It is not allowed for VLAN pools that are configured directly under a virtual AP (VAP). It must only be used under named VLANs.L2 Mobility is not compatible with the existing implementation of the Even VLAN pool assignment type.

6.Check the Pool check box if you want the VLAN to be part of a pool.

7.In the List of VLAN IDs field, enter the VLAN IDs you want to add to this pool. If you know the ID, enter each ID separated by a comma. Or, click the drop-down list to view the IDs then click the <-- arrow to add the ID to the pool..

NOTE: VLAN pooling should not be used with static IP addresses.

8.You must add two or more VLAN IDs to create a pool.

9.When you finish adding all the IDs, click Add.

The VLAN pool along with its assigned IDs appears on the VLAN Pool window. If the pool is valid its status is enabled.

Distinguishing Between Even and Hash Assignment Types

The VLAN assignment type determines how a VLAN assignment is handled by the controller.

The Hash assignment type means that the VLAN assignment is based on the station MAC address. The Even assignment type is based on an even distribution of VLAN pool assignments.

The Even VLAN Pool assignment type maintains a dynamic latest usage level of each VLAN ID in the pool. Therefore, as users age out, the number of available addresses increases. This leads to a more even distribution of addresses.

The Even type is only supported in tunnel and dtunnel modes. It is not supported in split or bridge modes and it is not allowed for VLAN pools that are configured directly under a virtual AP. It can only be used under named VLANs.
