At a certain point in time, Cisco can decide to stop a product’s sale, although customers can purchase the product until its End of Life (EOL) date. After this date, Cisco will discontinue support for this product on a designated date, called End of Service Life (EOSL) date.
During this stage, maintenance and updates for that specific hardware product are officially discontinued, encouraging businesses to consider migration to newer hardware or to explore alternative support services for continued operational efficiency. For more information, visit our Cisco EOL and EOSL section.
