I am looking for a switch that can handle our Small Business 2 WAN connections and split it out to two different firewalls for a total of 6 physical connections. It will split the switch into 2 VLANs to separate traffic. Will I need anything special or a large backplane for this?
We were using a Cisco SG300 for the task, but we were not getting our maximum speeds of 1G/1G out of it and only 10% was available up and down. I believe the switch was bad, but was told we needed a beefier switch to handle the routing table. If this is only doing layer 2, wouldn't there be no routes in the routing table except for maybe the default route if the switch is managed?
I believe even something like 2 unmanaged 8 port switches would work for the task if we didn't want to vlan the switch.
