I have a requirement for a WAN switch to bridge two Firealls to one ISP handoff.
We don't want the ISP handoff physically touching anything internal so using a VLAN on an existing switch is out.
So basically I need a low port count (3) switch that I can trust to pass packets and not die.
Requirments
1) 3+ Ports
2) L2 only
3) Gigabit Ethernet Rj45 ports
4) Trustworthy
5) Under $200 USD
I'm a a loss for the trust-worthiness part. Unless I can find something that small and cheap with an OOB port to monitor it we will basically be trusting it to not choke and die and just do it's thing, but I feel like most dumb small port-count switches don't seem very reliable. I'm looking at currently Cisco SG250 - 8 port
or maybe

It feels like such a simple requirement but I guess I'm just having a hard time trusting anything that's cheap.
Can anyone spare an opinion?
