Cisco Hardware EOS and EOL

 

EOS (End Of Sale) - an announcement, or status of a hardware product - indicating that Cisco has stopped manufacturing and selling a it, but is still supporting it

 

EOL (End Of Life) - an announcement, or status of a hardware product - indicating that Cisco has stopped manufacturing, selling, and supporting it

 

EOL = EOS minus support

 

What about EOL/EOS of Software Packages and IOS (Internet Operating System) ??  -  unfortunately, there is no central EOS/EOL list for software, including all the IOS versions.  All you can do is to search Cisco's site for the package of concern and see what they say as to the status.

 

The EOL/EOS List - at the bottom of this page is a list of all EOL/EOS product families with links to the Cisco site for more info.  But for the most recent list, go to the Cisco Catalog and scroll down to Chapter 27.

 

IMPORTANT - incredibly, even the online list is NOT UP-TO-DATE !!  For example, it does not list the 7204 as EOS, which it has been since April of 2000 !! 

 

EOL/EOS Alerts - you can sign up to receive alerts via email at:  http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/Support/FieldNoticeTool/field-notice - these alerts include not only EOL & EOS info, bur also security bugs in the IOS, patch info, etc.  It is a lot of emails, just to warn you (about 5 per week).

 

The Most Common Cisco EOL/EOS Products

 

This knowledge is very important - because some of the most popular products have gone to EOL or EOS status.  For example, many Engineers use a Cisco 2620 for their network designs, and it is very, very common.  But it is EOL !!!  Here are some of the most common Cisco EOL/EOS products to be aware of:
