In this case you have the requirement: "We do not care about the
functionality. We need to be reasonably sure that this unknown
functionality works as the vendor specified it."

EAL level without functional specification (in most cases in form
of a PP reference) is meaningless. And beware that no standard
firewall PP offers the security functions you need if you want
to have real network perimeter defence, let alone corporate
information flow control policy enforcement.
