Frequently asked questions

When is the Cisco ASR1006-X end of life?

Cisco announced End-of-Sale for the ASR1006-X effective Jul 31, 2026. The Last Date of Support (LDoS) is Jul 31, 2031, after which Cisco no longer provides support. Check the milestone dates on this page and plan your refresh accordingly.

What replaces the Cisco ASR1006-X?

Cisco's recommended migration is the Cisco Catalyst 8500-20X6C Edge Platform. 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 ASR1006-X?

Yes, until the Last Date of Support (Jul 31, 2031) with an active SmartNet/Solution Support contract. After LDoS, independent third-party maintenance can extend hardware coverage. Uniqcli can review your install base, confirm coverage, and quote extended support or a refresh side by side.
