It's ok with your setup method, but please make sure below key points, otherwise it will cause Client cannot access Internet.
1. On M4300 switch, when you config DHCP Server(192.168.88.0/24), the dns-server IP must be the Router IP=192.168.178.1);
below is example config on M4300 Switch:
interface 1/0/1
routing
ip address dhcp
exit
interface vlan 1
routing
ip address 192.168.88.1 255.255.255.0
exit
ip management 1/0/1 dhcp
ip management source-interface 1/0/1
router rip
exit
router ospf
exit
ipv6 router ospf
exit
service dhcp
ip dhcp pool "test"
dns-server 192.168.178.1
default-router 192.168.88.1
network 192.168.88.0 255.255.255.0
exit
2. On the Router, you need add routing table back to switch M4300 LAN(192.168.88.0/24). And make sure the Router support NAT for this LAN.
example config:
ip route 192.168.88.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.178.11
Hope it helps!
