  1. If you ever need to debug network problems like this, learn to use `tcpdump -e -vvv` and you can use wireshark as the GUI. I had to connect our server to our corporate network and the guy maintaining the switches accidentally had marked our port as untagged (terminology between vendors is practically random) and I was inspecting the outgoing packets to verify that we tagged the traffic correctly so the problem must be at the another end.

  2. If you connect this device to router with DHCP, it will use whatever IP the router assigns to it. I think dot-one is perfectly fine for out of box configuration for offline configuration (which is the only safe way to configure things like this anyway).
