I have recently changed my isp and now have a block of 5 static ips available.
I have 2 standard gateway routers that are each capable of handling one static WAN ip address, and I COULD just continue with that method-
have firewalled server(s) on the switch, and router(s) going to the regular network.
I am thinking about getting one firewall device, however, that can handle all 5 static ips by itself and still run my network. There is one device that Verizon supports and resells for this purpose- Adtran NetVanta 2054 being the model they have.
Not being too knowledgeable in this area (only familiar with the standard home gateways routers) I don't want to spend $300 on something without recommendations though.
Anyone familiar with either that unit or alternatives in the $300 (+ $50 or so) or price range?
I'd rather spend more for something that's worth it then less for junk.
I'm running fine for now, so I am not in any hurry to get something, but I am looking. Thanks.
