(Q) Home Networking Switch / Router

I've been getting into networking a bit recently, but I'm pretty new to the field so I have a few questions:

Is it possible to use a HP Procurve 1700-24 switch as a cabled router?

Which IP range(s) can you use for internal subnetworks and the like? ie.: 10.0.0.x, 192.168.x.x, etc.

And how does one configure subnetworks on non *nix machines?

 

Thanks in advance :^)

No, It does not look like it has Layer 3 capabilities, IE the ability to route to your ISP. You would need to step up to the 3600 series from what I am reading to get the layer 3 capabilities to do routing.

Alright, thanks. Guess I'll be setting up a pfsense dedicated router build.
