Why this score
  • Past end of service life — 44 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 QFX3600 against 7 other models in Juniper QFX 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 QFX Series QFX3600 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.
