Cisco EOSL Calculator — check end-of-service-life status in 10 seconds
Pick a Cisco product family and model. We’ll show every published EOSL milestone (EoS, EoSWM, EoVSM, LDoS) and the migration path that fits your timeline.
Select a product family and model to see EOSL milestones and migration recommendations.
EOSL dates compiled from Cisco's published End-of-Life Product Bulletins. Dates are accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the data refresh below but Cisco occasionally extends or republishes milestones — verify with the official Cisco listing before procurement decisions.

FAQ
EOSL questions buyers actually ask.
What's the difference between EoS, EoSWM, EoVSM, and LDoS?
End of Sale (EoS): Cisco stops selling new units. Hardware in the field continues to work; existing SmartNet renewals continue.
End of Software Maintenance (EoSWM): No new feature releases or bug fixes. Security advisories continue.
End of Vulnerability and Security Maintenance (EoVSM): No more security patches. Hardware remains under SmartNet for parts replacement only.
Last Date of Support (LDoS): SmartNet renewal becomes unavailable. Cisco TAC engagement ends. This is when most teams need a TPM provider.
My device is past LDoS — is it safe to keep running?
Functionally yes — the hardware doesn’t suddenly stop working. The risks: no new security patches, no Cisco TAC for failures, no SmartNet parts replacement. A third-party maintenance provider replaces the parts & engineering side; the security exposure depends on the device’s role and the controls around it. For internet-facing or PCI-scope devices, post-LDoS operation needs a documented risk acceptance.
How accurate are these dates?
Compiled from Cisco's official End-of-Life Product Bulletins. Cisco occasionally extends LDoS for popular platforms (the Nexus 7000 family has been extended twice). Always verify with Cisco’s authoritative listing before making procurement decisions. This tool is for planning — not legal or warranty determination.
My model isn’t in the dropdown — can you look it up?
Yes. Send us the part number (PID) and we’ll confirm the EOSL milestones plus a TPM coverage feasibility for that platform. Usually a same-day response.
What does WUC actually do at LDoS+?
Hardware replacement, engineer-led fault isolation, parts logistics, escalation. We don’t replace Cisco TAC for software issues — if a problem turns out to be IOS-XE/NX-OS bug-level, we engage Cisco TAC directly on your behalf or document the workaround. The economics start to favor WUC at EoSM and dominate at LDoS — see our SmartNet alternative page for the comparison.
Past EoSWM or staring at an LDoS deadline?
WUC Engineering scopes EOSL-extension engagements for Cisco Catalyst, Nexus, MDS, ISR, ASR, and UCS fleets. Send us your asset list and we’ll map a coverage path.
