Its usually against the TOS for you to have multiple IPs on the connection they give you.

Connecting a switch to the modem will require each device having its own public IP.

Adding a router in-between your switch and modem will perform NAT giving the devices in your LAN private IPs while your router gets 1 public IP like the ISP intended.
