What changes at EOSL
The Nexus 7018 keeps working. Cisco just stops answering.
End of service life is the date Cisco stops selling support contracts for the Nexus 7018. 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 Nexus 7018 spares in stock and support the platform for 3 to 5+ years past February 28, 2027 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.
