What changes at EOSL

The Meraki MS420 Series keeps working. Cisco just stops answering.

End of service life is the date Cisco stops selling support contracts for the Meraki MS420 Series. It is a commercial decision, not a technical one. The network still runs, its failure modes are well documented, and spares are available on the secondary market.

We keep Meraki MS420 Series spares in stock and support the platform for 3 to 5+ years past October 31, 2023 with in-house L3+ engineers 24/7/365, a 4-hour on-site SLA, and month-to-month terms. Most customers use that window to refresh on their own schedule instead of Cisco's.
