Cisco Systems announces the end of life of the Cisco Catalyst
®
3524-PWR Series XL Switch. The last
day to order the Cisco Catalyst 3524-PWR XL Switch will be August 12, 2003. Customers will continue to
receive support from the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) until August 12, 2008. Table 1 describes
the end-of-life milestones, definitions, and dates for the Cisco Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switch.
Customers are encouraged to migrate to the Cisco Catalyst 3550-24 PWR Intelligent Ethernet Switch, which
provides all of the advanced Layer 2–4 intelligent services available in the Catalyst 3550 Series along with integrated
inline power functionality. Customers can deploy high-performance IP routing, advanced quality of service (QoS),
granular rate-limiting, enhanced network security, and multicast management network-wide—while maintaining the
simplicity of traditional LAN switching. Additionally, up to 15.4W/port of inline power on every 10/100 port ensures
maximum device support for IP telephony and wireless LAN deployments.
