Frequently asked questions
When is the Cisco AIR-CT2504-K9 end of life?
Cisco announced End-of-Sale for the AIR-CT2504-K9 effective Apr 18, 2018. The Last Date of Support (LDoS) is Apr 30, 2023, after which Cisco no longer provides support. It is past its last date of support.
What replaces the Cisco AIR-CT2504-K9?
Cisco's recommended migration is the Cisco 3504 Wireless Controller (or Cisco Mobility Express). Uniqcli, an authorized Cisco partner, can quote the replacement TAA-compliant and GPC-payable, and help plan the cutover.
Can I still get support for the AIR-CT2504-K9?
Not from Cisco. The AIR-CT2504-K9 passed its Last Date of Support (Apr 30, 2023), so Cisco TAC, hardware replacement, and SmartNet renewals are no longer available. Independent third-party maintenance can still cover the hardware itself, typically well below OEM renewal rates. Uniqcli can review your install base, confirm coverage, and quote extended support or a refresh side by side.
