Is it possible to use Excito b3 as DHCP server and connect a switch to the lan port for auto assign of addresses to the connections to the switch?

Yep. In fact, B3 only has one LAN port, so if you want more than one device connected by cable you need a switch.

So all devices connected to the switch---> b3 will get unique ips created by the b3?

If you set your B3 as DHCP server any machine on the network (LAN and WLAN) that asks a IP-adress gets one from your B3 regardless of the number of switches, access-points etc. between the B3 and the machine.
