Additional Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series Switches
Additional Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series Switches
EOL5850
Cisco® announces the end-of-sale and end-of life dates for the Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series
Switches. The last day to order the affected product(s) is October 21, 2008. Customers with active
service contracts will continue to receive support from the Cisco Technical Assistance Center
(TAC) as shown in Table 1 of the EoL bulletin. Table 1 describes the end-of-life milestones,
definitions, and dates for the affected product(s). Table 2 lists the product part numbers affected
by this announcement. For customers with active and paid service and support contracts, support
will be available until the termination date of the contract, even if this date exceeds the Last Date
of Support shown in Table 1.
In a previous announcement dated April 17, 2006, Cisco completed the first
end-of-sale and end-
of-life announcement
(EOL1094) for Select Cisco Catalyst 2950G and Catalyst 2950T Series
Switches. This EoS and EoL announcement (EOL5850) is specific to five additional models of
Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series Switches.
Not affected by this or any previous end-of-sale and end-of-life announcement is the
Cisco
Catalyst 2950G 24 EI DC Switch
(WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC).
Customers are encouraged to migrate to the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches. The Catalyst
2960 Series Switches with the enhanced Layer 2+ LAN Base software enable intelligent LAN
services by providing enhanced security, QoS, and availability for new converged applications.
The Catalyst 2960 Series Switches with the standard Layer 2 LAN Lite software simplify the
migration from unmanaged and nonintelligent devices to a reliable and scalable managed network
by providing entry-level security, QoS, and availability with a focus on ease of use to lower the
network total cost of ownership.
