Questions about VLANs and the connection between 2 Switches

Hello,

 

Our story begins with a switch stack, we'll call it switch 3. Switch 3 has been communicating with another switch called switch 50.

Switch 3 and Switch 50 are using APs (model zf7363) to talk to each other.

switch 3 is configured as follows:

interface TenGigabitEthernet2/0/47

switchport trunk native vlan 10

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10,100

switchport mode trunk

end

and switch 50 is configured as follows:

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1

switchport trunk native vlan 10

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10,100

switchport mode trunk

ip dhcp snooping trust

end

interface Vlan1

ip address 172.X.X.Z *netmask*

!

interface Vlan10

ip address 10.X.X.Y *netmask*

the meat of the story is that things in the IP subnet of VLAN 10 can communicate back and forth between the network (over the wifi). an example would be switch 3 pinging an IP in the VLAN 10 range (10.X.X.Y) that lives on switch 50. But when I try to ping an IP in the VLAN 1 range (Yes, I know, I inherited this network) there is no response. I will provide an example below:

SW-003#ping 10.X.X.Y

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.X.X.Y, timeout is 2 seconds:

.!!!!

Success rate is 80 percent (4/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 2/21/43 ms

but when I ping switch 50 using the VLAN 1 range it shows below

SW-003#ping 172.X.X.Z

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.X.X.Z, timeout is 2 seconds:

.....

Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)

I'm unsure if this is a Ruckus AP\WiFi issue or if I am missing a crucial bit of configuration on the Cisco side.

Please share network topology diagram to understand how the AP zf7363 is connected to the switches. 

I'm unsure if this is something I can export from ZoneDirector, but this is how it is currently connected.

IDF on carousel is connected (mesh AP, 1 hop) ip address 10.X.X.98 Vlan 1 channel 3

Would submitting a debug log provide insight into the configuration?

Carousel is connected (root AP) ip address 10.X.X.97 VLAN 1 channel11

IDF on carousel is connected to switch 50 on interface gi1/0/1

Carousel is connected to switch 3 on interface TenGigabitEthernet2/0/47

We've decided to go in a different direction for what we are trying to do.

 

Thank you for the assistance.
