I am running 1.1 firmware on a Bullet M5-HP and trying to set up a DHCP WAN connection. I picked up a small HP Procurve 1700-8 managed switch and am attempting to sort out the VLAN settings.

The HP has a default VLAN set with a VLAN ID of 1 that all 8 ports are assigned to. I created a second VLAN with an ID of 2 and assigned the last 2 ports (7 & 8)  of the switch to it. I also un-assigned them from vlan 1. So ports 1-6 are on vlan 1 and ports 7-8 are on vlan 2. No trunks were created. Ports 7-8 were marked to pass tagged only traffic and  ports 1-6 to pass all traffic. No ingress filtering was set.

I am unable to pick up an address for the WAN with a external DHCP server attached to either port 7 or 8. I am missing something here. Does a trunk need to be created?

The release notes in the firmware mentions untagged = LAN, vlan1 = WAN . and vlan2 = DTD Linking. Are these actual id numbers critical?

Anyone have an HP switch setup they can share?

Thanks, Dave,  K7DMK

The numbers are indeed important they have to match. 

The first major issue I see is you removed vlan1 from ports 7 and 8. This vlan needs to be there and it needs to be there in a tagged format so the node can read the traffic as being on it's "WAN" port.

DTDLINK sounds like it should be setup correct so that if you plug a Ubiquiti into 7 or 8 they would talk to each other on VLAN2.
