Cisco Nexus 3048 Series — End-of-Life & EOSL Dates

PAST VENDOR SUPPORTCisco ended support in August 2025.

The Cisco Nexus 3048 Series is a data center switch in Cisco's Nexus product line. End-of-sale and end-of-service-life dates are listed by part number below, each linked to the Cisco EOL bulletin.

Every tracked Cisco Nexus 3048 Series SKU group is past Cisco end of service life (last group Aug 2025). Units in production should be treated as unsupported. For past-EOSL units, weigh third-party maintenance, spares, replacement, or a documented run-to-failure.

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.
