FAQ
Can I keep running Catalyst 6500 systems after EOSL?
Yes. After the vendor's end of support, third-party maintenance (TPM) keeps Cisco hardware running with SLAs and spare parts — typically 30–70% below OEM list price. Security updates for firmware are no longer provided by the vendor, so plan network segmentation accordingly.
