Continuing this issue I am reposting the issue posted by someone as i dont get proper reply in comments.

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/ICX-Switches/DHCP-server-icx-7750/m-p/101495#M7109 

SW version is 08.0.95pT203

I have created 2 VLANS. For example vlan 100 and vlan 101
For vlan 100 I have used the dhcp pool created on ICX7750 and For Vlan 101 I used the TP-link router to provide DHCP. Both PC+ Mobile working fine with VLAN101 in SSID101 but VLAN 100 has SSID 100 in AP on which only PC get connects.

On checking VSZ6.1.2 it shows in AP clients i can see the DHCP ip received by the PC but the DHCP from the mobile phone reaches to VSZ but it shows 0.0.0.0:: and it donot request the dhcp to switch but incase of PC it does with the same SSID.

On checking via Wireshark:

--On Laptop (Wi-Fi)
--Receives DHCP Pool Address

*Option:(50) Requested IP address (192.168.92.4)

does it mean that the VRF vlan is not able to receive dhcp ?
If so then I have already used the helper address 1 192.168.92.1 and the window client is already receiving ip 

What is the possible cause?

Now i removed the ve 100 from VRF with command "no vrf forwarding abc" and added the ip address the client device (Mobile+PC) now able to connect and receive the IP from the DHCP Pool.

I think with VRF forwarding VLAN 100 the client request didn't reach to the DHCP Pool and the client is not able to receive the IP but i am surprise that why the PC received the IP then.


I added the ip route as below to reach from VRF routing table to global routing table:
#ip route vrf abc 192.168.92.0/24 ve 100
#ip route 192.168.92.0/24 ve 100

Now, a mobile device is connected to AP and receives the DHCP address of 192.168.92.2.

From Switch when i try to ping 192.168.92.2 it pings but it don't ping the gateway 192.168.92.1
Command:
#ping vrf abc 192.168.92.2 -->OK
#ping vrf abc 192.168.92.1 -->OK

#ping 192.168.92.1 OK

Now, I created ve 200 and "vrf forwarding abc" and has the ip of 192.168.93.1/24 

I connected a raspberry pi with ip 192.168.93.2/24 in vlan 200

Since there was already a route from global to VRF was already available I tried to ping from Mobile(192.168.92.2) to the raspberry pi(192.168.93.2).
It was not able to get ping although there was already a route via ve 100.

Later i added ip route
#ip route 192.168.93.0/24 ve 200

Now i am able to ping from Mobile(192.168.92.2) to Respberrypi(192.168.93.2) and viceversa

But here also when i try to ping the gateway 192.168.92.1 or 192.168.150.1 then it was not able to ping. why the gateway is not ping?

Is this the isolation in communication between VRF and default VRF?
If so then why client machine get pings but gateway donot?
