Aruba -> Ruckus Coexistence, Migration

Hi All,
I am working on a project to replace an existing Aruba WiFi install with Ruckus WiFi. To try and ease the transition and temporary coexistence, we put the Ruckus APs on the same wired VLAN as the Aruba APs and on-prem 3400 controller. The Ruckus APs will be using Ruckus Cloud.

After we powered up about 20 of the Ruckus APs (just powered up - not broadcasting any SSID), we ultimately started to see trouble on the Aruba WiFi. clients were having trouble seeing the SSIDs and connections were getting dropped.

Initial thoughts were that it is something related to spanning tree, but this is disabled on all the wired switches, 3400 controller. etc. Might also be something related to rogue AP stuff - but I am not sure how to see if this is the case? And not sure - if it is relevant - where on the Aruba 3400 I would find where to add the Ruckus APs as trusted neighbors?

Any suggestions much appreciated!
