Frequently asked questions

When is the Cisco CISCO7606-S end of life?

Cisco announced End-of-Sale for the CISCO7606-S effective Jul 29, 2016. The Last Date of Support (LDoS) is Jul 31, 2021, after which Cisco no longer provides support. It is past its last date of support.

What replaces the Cisco CISCO7606-S?

Cisco's recommended migration is the Cisco Catalyst 8500 (C8500-12X). 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 CISCO7606-S?

Not from Cisco. The CISCO7606-S passed its Last Date of Support (Jul 31, 2021), 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.
