Can instances with static IPs ping each other or it also don't works?

Please check also configuration of the OVS agent on the compute nodes where
instances are configured and on the servers where DHCP agent's are running.

You should also check with tcpdump where packets are actually dropped. You can
start checking on the physical interface in the host if there are packets with
vlan_id 55 (the one which don't works). If packets are going out from compute
node, You can check on Your switches and move to the next server. If packets are
not on that physical interface, You should look in the Openflow rules
configuration in the openvswitch on the compute node.
