I guess a DNS somewhere. But we use google and others mostly for DNS.
DHCP could be used with reservations. Probably ought to to keep from hard
coding customers.

Just don’t want to go too cheap on the router.
Say 2X DIA on one side with BGP. 10Gbps interfaces.
Then CGNAT inside, may not use it as I have more IPs than customers right now.
What else do I need?

If I wanted to do something good on a low budget I would get 2 L3 switches.
Stacking is a bonus, but not necessary. They don’t have in chassis redundancy
like a big router, but they do have lots of ports.
Compared to getting a new Juniper/Cisco/etc you’ll spend a lot less.
Compared to getting an antique Junpier/Cisco/etc you’ll spend less on electric
bill, less on backup power, less on cooling, and you can afford to keep a spare.
Just pay attention to whether it does BGP. Divide your upstream connections
between the pair of switches and same with your backhaul paths. Share routes
between the pair. You have redundancy by having multiple boxes rather than
having multiple cards like you would with the big toys.
I’m hesitant to suggest a specific model because honestly I would have to
engage the Juniper and/or Arista vendor to talk about features. But a lot of
them will do BGP just fine.

Like you used to be able to do for Cisco? Maybe you can still do it.

If you want full support it has to be either new or a certified refurb,
sometimes your VAR can get one from eBay put on a support plan if it is still
new.
I have read that you can also get support on like an eight Port switch for $30
a quarter which gives you access to all of the firmware for every juniper.

I bought an MX240 grey market reputable source off lease. Firmware terribly
out of date. Couldn't get the firmware for it so I had to get it back into
their support system. They wanted $45k.+++ I paid $15k for the unit. Bye
bye Juniper.
If it were reasonable I'd absolutely got it back into their support system.

It appears to be a good deal.

This I think has six ten gigabit ports. It can do a full L3 BGP table,
which is what it would take to advertise our IP's along different routs
ourselves.
