Syntax

Usage Guidelines
Create a named VLAN so you can set up a VLAN pool. A VLAN pool consists of a set of VLAN IDs which are
grouped together to efficiently manage multi-controller networks from a single location.
NOTE: VLAN pooling should not be used with static IP addresses.
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.
If a VLAN pool is given an Even assignment in bridge mode, a message displays indicating that the Hash assignment
is automatically used instead to retrieve the VLAN ID.
NOTE: L2 Mobility is not compatible with the existing implementation of the Even VLAN pool assignment
type.
Example
The following command creates a VLAN pool named mygroup with the assignment type "even" on the controller:
(host) (config) #vlan-name mygroup pool assignment even
