Why Check Cisco EOL and EOSL Dates Regularly?

Tracking lifecycle milestones helps you maintain security, continuity, and predictable budgets across your infrastructure.

01

Security risks & patch coverage

Unsupported devices stop receiving firmware, bug fixes, and security updates. Review EOL/EOSL timelines to retire high-risk hardware before it becomes a gap.

02

Maintenance & replacement planning

Schedule refresh with minimal downtime, evaluate successor models, and coordinate maintenance windows early.

03

Budget & upgrade strategy

Align refresh cycles with finance plans to avoid last-minute, unplanned costs. A clear EOL roadmap spreads investment over time.

EOL & EOSL Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding End-of-Life (EOL) and End-of-Service-Life (EOSL) helps IT teams plan upgrades, reduce risk, and keep networks compliant and secure.

This quick guide is written for ICT distributors, system integrators, and network pros. It clarifies key lifecycle milestones and offers practical planning tips.

1) What is EOL (End-of-Life)?

EOL is the manufacturer’s formal announcement that a product is entering the final stage of its lifecycle. After EOL is announced, the device begins a phased retirement—production and marketing wind down, while support continues until the later EOSL date.

Think of EOL as the “heads-up” to start planning replacements—not the immediate end of usability.

2) EOL vs. EOS vs. EOSL — what’s the difference?
  • EOL (End-of-Life): OEM announces phase-out. Sales/support continue for a limited time.
  • EOS (End-of-Sale): last day to purchase from the OEM. Devices may still be available via secondary markets.
  • EOSL (End-of-Service-Life): the hard stop for OEM support—no TAC, repairs, firmware, or security patches after this date.

Typical lifecycle timeline

  1. General Availability
    Active sale & full support.
  2. EOL Announcement
    Phase-out notice; start planning.
  3. EOS (Last Order)
    Final purchase date from OEM.
  4. EOSL (Support Ends)
    No more TAC, fixes or patches.
3) What does EOL/EOSL mean for risk, operations, and budgets?

Operational impact

  • Security exposure rises without OEM patches or firmware updates.
  • Compliance issues in regulated industries (finance/healthcare, etc.).
  • Compatibility and performance drift as surrounding systems evolve.
  • MTTR and costs increase; OEM repair and spares are no longer available.

Budget & planning

  • Use EOL/EOSL as triggers for refresh planning and staggered rollouts.
  • Bundle OS upgrades and hardware replacements to reduce maintenance windows.
  • Prioritize series approaching EOSL to avoid last-minute capital shocks.
4) How can I quickly find lifecycle dates for my devices?
  • Check the OEM lifecycle / EOL policy pages and product bulletins.
  • Review official announcements sent to partners and registered customers.
  • Look into product release notes and technical documentation.
  • Use our centralized, multi-vendor EOL / EOSL database to search hundreds of series and thousands of models instantly.
