[ale] Switch for monitoring via SNMP

I'm switching ISPs and the new modem does not provide logging or SNMP
access so I can get traffic information through something like MRTG. So
I figured I'd put a switch in front of the modem and then monitor the
traffic that way (with a catch).
1: Any gigabit switches out there that aren't cloud-based and will still
give me SNMP? I have some Netgear ProSafe Plus switches but those lack
SNMP. The ProSafe Pro line has SNMP but requires a cloud account to
manage the switch.
2. My original thought was to use a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter (which I had
sitting on a shelf) to divide things up into some VLANs so that things
like streaming devices would hang off a couple ports VLANed away and
using the internal DHCP server and firewall to control traffic, other
things would hang off other ports, also VLANed away, and the management
of the switch itself would be inside my network so I could pull stats.
Problem was that it's only 100 Mbit. But perhaps that's going overboard?
