Cisco N77-C7710 End of Life & End of Support
Cisco Nexus 7710 Switch (10-Slot Chassis)
Supported through Oct 31, 2028The Nexus 7710 was a 10 slot modular chassis in the Nexus 7700 family, built for higher bandwidth core and aggregation roles than the original Nexus 7000. Cisco's bulletin directs customers to the Nexus 9500 and 9800 series chassis family as a whole rather than a single part number, with the Nexus 9508 the closest slot count match for most 7710 deployments. Customers should engage their account team to size the right 9500 or 9800 chassis for their specific supervisor, fabric, and line card mix.
