If it's a switch, you can either assign an IP to each of them, or set one up as a dhcp server -- manual IPs is probably the easiest, just go to each one and open the Network Manager applet, tell it not to use DHCP, and set up one machine as 192.168.0.100, the next as 192.168.0.101, etc. Then set the default gateway as whatever is connected to the "wan" port on the switch. You can find some public DNS servers to fill in those values, if you don't already have your own.
