Can Ruckus ICX 7150-C12P act as a router and do NAT?

I have a new Ruckus ICX 7150-C12P switch. I’m wondering if I can connect it directly to my ISP’s modem and let it act both as a DHCP server for my devices inside my home and also do the routing/NAT from internal network to the single external IP it gets from the cable modem? In other words, can I get away without a dedicated router device?

I have been using an Ubiquiti Edge RouterLite (https://www.ui.com/edgemax/edgerouter-lite/) and have been very happy with it.  

I have used an EdgeRouter in the past but currently have an Asus RTN68U with DD-WRT https://dd-wrt.com/ and it works very well.

Thank you both!
The speed is now consistently 3x to 4x faster.

It's a complete miss by not having it act as a router as well. What a waste of hardware
