Example-1: This configuration defines a static VLAN pool named STATIC1 for external use. The pool allocates VLANs statically within the range 4000–4002, with the role set to external. This is typically used for assigning specific VLANs to external connectivity or services, ensuring that the VLAN IDs are reserved and not dynamically assigned elsewhere in the fabric.

Example-2: This example creates a dynamic VLAN pool named DYNAMIC_INTERNAL, intended for internal VLAN allocation. The pool includes two ranges: one for general internal VLANs and another for a special project. The allocation is set to dynamic, and the role is internal.
