Explanation of VLAN Pool Assignment Algorithms:

In WLANs, VLAN pools help reduce broadcast domains and improve network performance by distributing users across multiple VLANs. Two algorithms are used for VLAN assignment:

Even Assignment Algorithm:

The number of users in each VLAN is even.

This algorithm assigns users evenly across VLANs, ensuring a balanced distribution of users in each VLAN.

When STAs go offline and online again, their VLANs and IP addresses may easily change.

Since the assignment is based on maintaining even distribution, a device (STA) may not be assigned the same VLAN when it reconnects, leading to potential IP address changes.

Hash Assignment Algorithm:

The number of users in each VLAN is uneven.

The hash algorithm assigns users to VLANs based on a hash value (e.g., derived from the MAC address). This may result in an uneven distribution of users across VLANs.

VLANs and IP addresses remain unchanged for STAs that go offline and online again.

The hash algorithm ensures that a device reconnects to the same VLAN, preserving its IP address.

BGP ConnectRetry Timer:

The ConnectRetry timer is used when establishing a TCP connection between BGP peers.

If the connection is successful, the timer is disabled.

If the connection fails, the timer restarts, and the router attempts to reconnect after the timer expires.

Behavior:

This timer prevents excessive connection attempts and ensures efficient resource utilization.

The mandatory parameters for BGP peer configuration are the peer IP address (peer ip-address) and AS number (as-number). A password is optional for MD5 authentication, and a description is an optional comment for reference. These are not required for establishing the peer relationship ​.
