Frequently asked questions
When is the Cisco N2K-C2232PP-10GE end of life?

What replaces the Cisco N2K-C2232PP-10GE?
Cisco's recommended migration is the Cisco Nexus 2348UPQ 10GE Fabric Extender (48x1/10GE SFP+, 6x40G QSFP). 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 N2K-C2232PP-10GE?
Not from Cisco. The N2K-C2232PP-10GE passed its Last Date of Support (Sep 30, 2025), 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.
