We are upgrading our Sonicwall TZ600 to a HA pair of TZ670s. The Sonicwall documentation for HA indicates a WAN switch in front of the two appliances, and a LAN switch for the inside network. My first assumption was WAN/LAN were just an indication of the placement of the switches, but as I'm not a network guru I wanted to check to see if there was anything special about a switch that would sit in front of our firewalls.
Google is a study of information overload and I can't find any confirmation either way - some of the links for WAN switches were huge appliances that are likely overkill for our needs.
Is there anything special about a switch that would sit in front of our Sonicwalls, or will any decent switch work?
