trying to configure a simple network

just purchased extreme network 440 and a new router. Its my understanding i don't need a router that the switch can do dhcp as well? if this is the case how would i set the static from my isp on a specific port and be able to utilize the rest of the ports for connection to other devices for connection to the internet. just one vlan so i can begin to learn these switches. trying to keep it simple for now. i've managed to set an ip on the switch and can access the gui. but i dont know how to set one of the ports to be my "in" port from my modem w static settings

Hi Gus,

Before adding the route on our switch, please make sure NATing is done.
I assume it's been take care before it reaches x440.
EXOS platform devices will not support NAT feature.

Yes, x440 can used for DHCP. You can uplink the ISP connection on the x440 switch and assign that port to a vlan for connectivity.
