I have a dedicated ISP connection with static IP , mask ,gateway and dns

What are the steps to route my vlans to internet without a router or firewall(using core switch only)

ok thanks for the advice

First Extreme switches don't do NAT. Second you should be using RFC 1918 ips on your internal network and those for sure will be dropped by your ISP if you try to route them directly to the internet.

I don't think it's a good idea to connect the core directly to the ISP without a firewall.
