There is currently a discussion/confusion about EOS dates.
I picked Cat2950 as an example: last date of support is December 30, 2011.
The announcement was made in April 2006.
The "End of Software Maintenance Release Date" is December 31, 2007 and
yet I can purchase a software contract at the latest December 31, 2007 .
Why is that?
Is it for Security vulnerabilities? Otherwise there is something wrong
with the logic here.
I find it ridiculous to replace all my switches 1.5 year after an
announcement.
Your feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,
