[cisco-voip] HP Switches

[Voice Noob]

Bill I don't think you situation is comparable to most. You are not using a
converged network which is one of the big reasons to go with an IPT system.
You have two physical networks one for voice and one for data.

I want to have one physical and two logical networks like I can with Cisco
phones and Cisco switches. The phone boots up and changes to the voice vlan
and the phones are on the data vlan. I don't care to tell the customer that
they must manually configure this but can they still use DHCP for all of the
IP info and just manually set the voice vlan?
ALso if I do this how do I set it up on the HP switch side? Is it a trunk or
an access port with two vlans?
