Cisco 3850 and 2960s

Good Afternoon,

My company is in the process of changing internet service providers and I wanted to get all my ducks in order before we pull the trigger. Currently our main switch is a 3850 which branches off into 3 seperate 2960x's. We have a VLan setup for departments so we can monitor traffic. What I am looking to understand is the change of the ISP and the configurations I may need to do.

I have reviewed the configuration files for our devices and it looks like they are only using our private IPs. No where in the device was I able to find our public IP, but I am not a guru with Cisco switches so I might be looking in the wrong place. Anyone have a similar setup and made this type of change before?

Most of the changes should just take place inside our router/firewall correct?

Not correct. The changes are most likely to be on and outside of your firewall.

In most enterprises, the firewall performs the network address translation from private to public addresses (among other things).
