I haven't been able to find the EOL for the WS-C2950ST-24-LRE model. Any help? This is a fairly old device.

You can look Cat 1000 series , if you budget more i would suggest to Look for Cat 9200/9300 for Long Life and ROI.

Hi there,
The 2950 is so old it has fallen off the bottom of this page:

...the best I could find:

Out of interest what support element do you want to know about the platform? There are none!
cheers,
Seb.

I am assessing a *production* environment that has this switch.
Looks like it needs new equipment! Haha.

I guess my question would be, do you still have a need for long reach ethernet? If not, then you can replace it with the current recommended switch. If you do still have a need for LRE, then you will have to keep that in mind.

Sounds like a museum.
I can't think of a single compelling reason to keep these switches in use unless you tell me there is no budget to spend.
As @balaji.bandi points out the catalyst 9000 is the preferred switch for campus deployments.
cheers,
Seb.
