2930F DHCP server

Hello,

I recently purchased a 2930F and Im having a really hard time getting things setup.  I've been through numerous threads here, youtube videos, and threads from other sites but Im struggling to get things going.  Im using Opnsense as a firewall (running from a physical machine) and connecting the switch from the Lan nic to port 1 on the switch.  When Im only connecting devices on the default vlan 1, everything works ok.  As soon as I try and add another vlan things go south.  Maybe im not tagging/untagging things correctly, not not really sure.  Im also not sure if I need to create a trunk port back to the firewall or not.  Please bear with me as Im new to more advanced networking in general. I've been scouring forums for a week and a half , so im really struggling here.   I used a thread here as a guide but I must have been missing something because I still couldnt get it to work: https://community.hpe.com/t5/Aruba-ProVision-based/2930F-dhcp-server-vlan-setup/td-p/7084768#.YHxh4T8pARA.

I would essesntially like to setup vlans on the switch and have the 2930 be the dhcp server routing local and inter vlan traffic stuff, and then send other information up to the firewall and out to the internet.  Is this even possible with this setup?  I've read that letting the switch do the routing speeds things up a bit, but im not sure if thats the correct way to do things.  When I try it this way  as soon as I create an additional vlan i seem to be able to ping the switch and the router, but I cant get out to the internet.  I setup ip pools for the dhcp server, enabled ip routing, and set the default gateway as the firewall itself.  I've had so much trouble and confusion with this i've reset the startup config multiple times, and now Im back to square one. I would appreciate any information or advice you guys could provide.  At this point I'd at least like to get one functional vlan working and then move on from there.  Thanks for your time.

I'd like to setup a few vlans with something like 192.168.5.1 (vlan5) 192.168.6.1 (vlan6) etc to keep the naming scheme simple.  Please let me know if i need to provide more information.
