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 VLANassignments.
The Even named VLANassignment 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.
The Even type is only supported in tunnel and decrypt-tunnel modes. It is not supported in split or bridge
modes and it is not allowed for named VLANthat are configured directly under a virtual AP. It can only be used
under named VLANs.
If a named VLANis given an Even assignment and is assigned to user roles, user rules, VSA, or server derivation
rules, then while applying VLAN derivation for the client on run time, the Even assignment is ignored and the
Hash assignment is applied with a message displaying this change.
L2 Mobility is not compatible with the existing implementation of the Even named VLANassignment type.
Updating a Named VLAN

Creating a Named VLAN Using the CLI
Named VLAN should not be used with static IP addresses.
The following example creates named VLAN called mygroup that has assignment type even.
(host)(config) #vlan-name mygroup assignment even
Viewing and Adding VLAN IDs Using the CLI
The following example shows how to view VLAN IDs in a named VLAN:
(host)(config) #show vlan
The following example shows how to add existing VLAN IDs to a named VLAN:
(host)(config) #vlan-name mygroup
(host)(config) #vlan mygroup 2,4,12
To confirm the named VLAN mappings assignments, use the following command:
(host)(config) #show vlan mapping
Role Derivation for Named VLAN Pools
You can configure Named VLANs under user rule, server derivation, user derivation, and VSA in this release.
