End of Support Inquiry

End of Support Inquiry

Good Afternoon -

I am new to the Extreme boards, but a long time user on the Brocade forums so this is my maiden voyage!

I have an opportunity to acquire a number of Brocade: BR-CER-2024F-4X-RT-AC routers for a small company we are working with. They were purchased in 2016 and we have been provided all of the paperwork for review. We have other sources telling us that they are EOS/EOL/EOSupport. Our primary concern is the End of Support date. Brocade contacts pointed us to Extreme support - where we referenced these two docs:

We don’t see any references to our specific model - we actually see that our model is recommended as the current purchase path.

Are there any other resources that anyone could recommend for research? Or are these the go to docs,

Thank You!!

'These docs seem to indicate that it is a suggested replacement router for this router: NI-CER-2024F-4X-RT-AC" Correct, the NI-CER-2024F-RT-AC has gone end of sale and will soon go end of support. (https://cloud.kapostcontent.net/pub/fb85daa5-9ba5-4a0d-83cd-cea31889145e/oracle-updated-eos-for-uplo...).

Extreme suggests to use BR-CER-2024F-4X-RT-AC as a replacement for it.

Please contact your Sales representative for more details.

The BR-CER-2024F-4X-RT-AC is still in support and in sale! We have this running as well.

Actually, I am not sure what is meant by 'is part of the replacement router'?

BR-CER-2024F-4X-RT-AC this a model of Brocade router (not any type of part)

These docs seem to indicate that it is a suggested replacement router for this router: NI-CER-2024F-4X-RT-AC

That is how we are reading it as well. As of now, it does not appear to have been announced EOS/EOL/EOSupport.
