I just ordered a Router for handling dhcp. my question is do i need to some how configure one port as my per say "IN" port from the router to the switch or will the extreme networks switch autodetect that the router is giving out ips from that port automatically Mon, 23 Jan 2017 21:27:00 GMT Gus_Rodriguez 2017-01-23T21:27:00Z https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremeswitching-other/new-to-switchs-and-routers-quick-question/m-p/10655#M1683 so we are settings up a new network w extreme networks switchs.

Will you have multiple subnets/vlans internally? If you only have one internal vlan/subnet, you will just need to untag the port connected to the router on your default internal vlan. If you will have multiple internal vlans/subnets, you will need to tag each one on the port that is connected to the router.
