Support Runway Score40/100 · Action recommended
Why this score
  • End of service life within 6 months
  • Vendor-published date, source-linked
  • Category: data center switch

Support-lifecycle timing and source confidence only. Higher means more runway. It is not a risk, safety or compliance rating. How it is calculated

Figure 1. Support runs to Aug 2030. Budget a refresh or line up cover before that date.
Figure 2. The 3000 Series against 7 other models in Cisco Nexus. Each bar runs from the earliest milestone Cisco publishes for that model, which is first availability where it gives one and end of sale otherwise, to its last date of support. The vertical rule is today; bars entirely to its left are past support. 2 further models in this line publish no usable date range and are not plotted.

Options from here

Cisco support for the Cisco Nexus 3000 Series ends soon. Weigh these before the cutoff:

Schedule migration

Support ends soon. Set the replacement window now, not mid-outage.

Line up third-party maintenance

Bridge coverage past the OEM cutoff if you can't migrate in time.

Budget the refresh

Get the replacement into this planning cycle.

Pre-stock spares

Secure spares before they get scarce after end-of-sale. Current eBay listings for Nexus 3000 Series ↗

Independent and informational. EOSL.ai sells no hardware and no maintenance, and lists no paid placements. Third-party maintenance keeps unsupported gear in production past the OEM cutoff; whether it fits depends on the role the asset plays.
