VLAN
Pooling
To reduce big broadcast or
risking a chance of running out of address space, you can
now
enable VLAN pooling in an ESS profile.
VLAN
pooling essentially allows administrators to create a named alias using a
subset of
VLANs thereby creating a pool of address. By
enabling VLAN pool, you can now associate a
client/device to a
specific VLAN. This allows you to effectively manage your network by
monitoring
appropriate or specific VLANs
pools.
Features
•
You can associate up to 8 VLANs to a pool.
• You can create a
maximum of 64 VLAN Pools.
• You can specify the maximum number
of clients that can be associated to a VLAN.
• The
client/device behaviour does not change after it is associates to a VLAN
in a pool.
• If a VLAN is removed from a VLAN pool,
clients/devices connected to the VLAN will continue
to be
associated to the VLAN. However, if the clients disconnect and reconnect
the
VLAN will change.
