To all? I need some help I have a RFS6000 wiht AP650 and AP300 and version wing 5.4 with 1 WLAN config with VLAN pool 1 and 3. Works well if all terminals are on DHCP, if any terminals are fixed IP, these are in vlan 1 or sometimes in vlan 3. the IP of Vlan 1 and 3 are different, in this case the system does not communicate with these terminals with fix IP. is possible to solve this problem?

Paulo, As VLAN pooling basically load-balances clients between each VLAN using a round-robin algorithm, there is no way to support statically addressed clients as you cannot pre-determine which VLAN in the pool each new client will be assigned. You either need to change your Wireless LAN configuration to use a single VLAN or use dynamic addressing for all your clients. Regards, Kevin
To add 5c to Kevin's comment: In general you want to use VLAN pooling in two cases only:
Campus scenarios with where you want to utilize all the redundant uplinks Example: run MSTP/PVST and map different VLANs to different uplinks, then converge somewhere in the Core.
Growth scenarios for networks with poor initial IP planning where the amount of clients has outgrown your existing IP subnet (so you add another one on a separate VLAN). In this case it is assumed that clients don't talk to each other (public internet access, for example). Example, you started with a small hotspot and /24 network and then grew beyond 254 simultaneous users, so now you need to add another subnet (because supernetting may not be possible due to existing IP plan).
