Can the GS305E switch be used as a DHCP server?

I found in the documentation it says that the switch can be used as a DHCP relay but I couldn't find anywhere if it can be used as a DHCP server. I want to connect it straight to the internet without a router or modem.

    The GS305E does not have a DHCP server function.  If you need a switch that has a DHCP Server function, I suggest you any of the M4300 switch models. 

     

    To know more about the M4300 switch models and their specifications, kindly check the data sheet here
