In the CLI
Use the following commands:
(host)(config) #vlan
(host)(config) #vlan range 200-300,302-350
Creating a Named VLAN
You can create, update, and delete a named VLAN. Each named VLAN has a name and needs to have one or
more VLANs assigned to it. The following configurations create a named VLAN called mygroup. It has the
assignment type Even, and VLAN IDs 2, 4 and 12 are assigned to this named VLAN.
AOS-W supports maximum of 256 VLANs per named VLAN.
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to Configuration > Network > VLANs.
2. Select the VLAN Pool tab to open the VLAN Pool window.
3. Click Add.
4. In the VLAN Name field, enter a name that identifies this named VLAN.
5. In the Assignment Type field, select Hash or Even from the drop-down list. See Distinguishing Between
Even and Hash Assignment Types on page 107 for information and conditions regarding Hash and Even
assignment types.
The Even named VLAN assignment type is only supported in tunnel and decrypt-tunnel modes. It is not supported in
split or bridge modes. It is not allowed for named VLANs 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 named
VLAN assignment type.
6. 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. You can also click the drop-down list to view the IDs, then select a VLANID
to add it to the pool.
VLAN pooling should not be used with static IP addresses.
7. You must add a VLAN ID to create a named VLAN.
8. When you finish adding all the IDs, click Add. The VLAN name along with assignment type and VLAN IDs
appears on the VLAN Pool window.
9. Click Apply.
10.At the top of the window, click Save Configuration.
Distinguishing Between Even and Hash Assignment Types
The VLAN assignment type determines how the switch handles a VLAN assignment.
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 named VLANassignments.
The Even named VLANassignment type maintains a dynamic latest usage level of each VLAN ID in the named
VLAN. Therefore, as users age out, the number of available addresses increases. This leads to a more even
distribution of addresses.
