Juniper EX Series EX4500 — End-of-Life & EOSL Dates

PAST VENDOR SUPPORTJuniper ended support in December 2022.

Juniper EX Series EX4500 — switch. Published end-of-sale (last order) and end-of-support (EOSL) dates from Juniper JTAC End-of-Life bulletins.

Every tracked Juniper EX Series EX4500 SKU group is past Juniper end of service life (last group Dec 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.

Why this score
  • Past end of service life — 127 months ago
  • Vendor-published date, source-linked
  • Category: 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. Juniper issues no software maintenance and no security fixes for this product. Third-party maintenance, spares or replacement are the paths from here. EOSL.ai sells none of them and takes no placement fee.
Figure 2. The EX4500 against 7 other models in Juniper EX Series. Each bar runs from the earliest milestone Juniper 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.

Options from here

The Juniper EX Series EX4500 is past Juniper end of service life. These are the paths teams take from here:

Third-party maintenance

Keep it in production past the OEM cutoff with an independent maintainer.

Pre-stock spares

Buy spares now, while units still circulate on the secondary market.

Plan replacement

It is unsupported today. Set a migration timeline and budget.

Run to failure

Low-criticality role: document the risk, harden backups, retire on your terms.

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.
