After several months of putting it off due to schedule issues, I finally got around to rebuilding my home network based on Brocade ICX 6450 + Ruckus R720 + PFSense combo.
I am currently running a UBNT Based network with 6 switches , 2 AP-Pros, USG and Cloud Key Gen2 +.
After experimenting with the ICX 6450s, I decided to migrate everything (Home+Lab) into one stack.
Here is the new configuration
Step 1.
Step 2.
Step 3.
devices are able to get IP addresses.
Step 3.
Step 4.
Step 5.
Here's where I'm stuck.
If I connect to the LAB wifi network, there are no issues and everything works fine.
The trouble starts when I connect to the HOME wifi network.
IP Address is not assigned via DHCP.
the R720 access point reboots.
Network becomes unstable - Unable to reach the gateway ip address for any of the vlans.
I have to reload the switches to get back network access.
Any pointers a to what to look for? Is it a faulty access point? Have I messed up something else?

I am currently running a UBNT Based network with 6 switches , 2 AP-Pros, USG and Cloud Key Gen2 +.
After experimenting with the ICX 6450s, I decided to migrate everything (Home+Lab) into one stack.
Here is the new configuration
Step 1.
I'm able to place devices in all the VLANs and connect between them seamlessly.4 ICX 6450s stacked and 4 VLANS created and appropriate ports assigned to them untagged
VLAN 10 Servers
VLAN 20 Hypervisors
VLAN 30 Home Network
VLAN 90 IPMI
VLAN 99 Transit
Step 2.
With static IPs assigned, able to access internet from every vlan except VLAN 90pfSense on vlan 99. All firewall rules and static routes defined.
Step 3.
Bring up new Windows 2016 Domain Controllers in VLAN 10 running DNS and DHCP. Define DHCP Scopes for VLAN 10, 20 and 30 in the DHCP server.
add ip helper to VLAN 20 and 30.
Code:
interface ve 20
ip address 172.16.20.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 1 172.16.10.11
ip helper-address 2 172.16.10.12
!
interface ve 30
ip address 172.16.30.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 1 172.16.10.11
ip helper-address 2 172.16.10.12
Step 3.
enable POE on one interface and set it to VLAN 10 untagged and 20 & 30 tagged
Code:
interface ethernet 1/1/20
dual-mode 10
inline power
!
vlan 10 name DNET by port
tagged ethe 1/1/20
router-interface ve 10
!
vlan 20 name HYPERVISOR by port
tagged ethe 1/1/20
untagged ethe 1/1/1 ethe 1/1/3
router-interface ve 20
!
vlan 30 name HOME by port
tagged ethe 1/1/20
router-interface ve 30
Step 4.
Able to connect devices to both Wifi Networks. Both get IP addresses from the VLAN 10 subnetFlash unleashed firmware on ruckus R720.
Setup new Wifi network (LAB). No changes to defaults.
Setup new Wifi network (HOME). No changes to defaults.
Step 5.
.For HOME wifi network, change Access VLAN to 30 in the advanced settings page in the r720 admin page
Here's where I'm stuck.
If I connect to the LAB wifi network, there are no issues and everything works fine.
The trouble starts when I connect to the HOME wifi network.
IP Address is not assigned via DHCP.
the R720 access point reboots.
Network becomes unstable - Unable to reach the gateway ip address for any of the vlans.
