Hi Team,

Good day.

We have a newly bought Catalyst 3850 with a Lan Base services and upgraded it from Denali to Fuji.

May I ask what will happen if the eval status remaining days suddenly become 0? Can we still use our switch basic function? How can we change it's status from eval mode to permanent?

Also may I ask what to do with newly bought Cisco routers and switches (SF and Catalyst) aside from configuring it? 

Thank you. Hoping for your great response.

Hi Luis,

Thank you for your reply. Will check this link.

May I ask will there be any problem with my device if the evaluation mode goes to 0 days?

Thank you.

you will not have an immediate problem.

after the evaluation period there will be a grace-period and the switch will keep running

But.... do not reload the switch!

Hi Pieterh,

Thank you for the response.

What will happen if I reload the switch?

Thank you.
