Hi

Just want to confirm the 3850 series switch model End of switch maintenance date.

There is publication on the link below, but there's no date of switch maintenance, does it mean Cisco have not release yest?

End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement for the Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches - Cisco

Hello!

Currently only end of life and end of sale have been announced. Based on previous announcments I would assume that at least two years before End of SW Maintenance and at least 5 before end of support. On the main page it says Eond of support date 30.04.2027.

Hi @DanielP211 

The second list you posted, they mention end of switch maintenance Oct 2022, but they posted last Nov 2022.

But the latest post Mar 2023, they never indicate SW maintenance date, does it mean we need to follow the lates publish date? and as you mention only end of life and sale was announced.

The second link I posted is for the licences. So I belive that also applies for the SW maintenance. While your link only applies to HW.
