The Cisco Nexus 9300 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 9300 Series SKU group is past Cisco end of service life (last group Feb 2022). 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.
