Re: 3550 Question

The 3550s had a LIMITED lifetime warranty. Meaning, it was warranted for
the lifetime of the product, which ended on May 2, 2011, as stated
previously. More details can be found at
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/es_inpck/lh2ben__.htm, which is
referenced in the 3550 Q&A at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps646/prod_qas09186a00800913d3.html
under
Lifetime Limited Warranty.

Note that this is for the "original end user," which I would image means
tying the serial number back to the original purchasing organization.

Note that the 3560s, 3750s, 3560-Es, 3750-Es, 2960s, and some other switches
also fall under the same terms (basically, you have up to 5 years after the
end of sale of the product.)
