So I’m looking to stand up my own router/firewall at home for my lab, and I also want to get a get a Cisco L3 switch since I’m currently working on CCNA and it would be really practical for me to get some more hands-on experience with physical hardware besides just using packet tracer and other virtualized platforms all the time (and I kind of just like hardware in general).
I’m looking to see what would be the most practical layer three switch that would meet these requirements:
still able to update iOS/stay current or very very recently EOL.
L3 Capabilities to route between my VLANS I want to set up.
-Something with 12 ports or more.
preferably something that is fanlesss or has a quiet fan.
-Something that is around the $150 price range on eBay.
Thank you.
