Cisco 2921 setup

hi guys hope you are well.

ive got a customer who has had a 100mb leased line put in.

bt have given him a Cisco 2921

ive never played with a bit of kit like this before.

for reasons im not going to go into they have a server there that we are decommissioning,
 which will leave us with 30 pc's on a network. they just need internet access, access to a nas box and also there will be 9 of those pc's using networked sage.

1) do  i need to buy another router to put in front of this or will this piece of kit do all the routing and dhcp that i need?

2) if so, how do i configure it - does it have a web UI and is it fairly straightforward? are there things i should configure on it other than the dhcp if so, what are they?

3) is it worth putting in some kind of dns server - if so whats the best thing to do?

thanks for your help.

Thanks for this.  I thought the 2921 had an spi firewall in it? Also will it do dhcp?

ah thankyou very much for this.
You can even use AnyConnect VPN Client with the 2921. Look at the AnyConnect Essentials license for the 2921.
