The HPE HP 5120 PoE and 5500 PoE Switches is still supported. Options to plan around, in rough priority:
The vendor publishes no last date of support. Ask the vendor, or check your contract, before relying on it.
Look up the exact part in the bulk checker; another part in the family may carry a published date.
Until a support end is confirmed, keep the replacement in your planning cycle.
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.
