Cisco 4351 and 4331 replacement?

[RobHall]

Hi all,  We've been using cisco 4331s and 4351s in our networks for a while now. it's about time to do a hardware refresh.  is there anything on the radar that is going to be a replacement/next gen for these routers?

@RobHall : Why are you replacing these models as these are still offered by Cisco. Any specific requirement for which you are looking for replacements.

[RobHall]

we replace them every 5 years whether they need it or not. just wondering if there's anything new coming down the pipe.

@RobHall,

ISR 4k will be replaced by Catalyst 8200, 8300 and 8500.  (Yes, all routers, switches, wireless AP and wireless LAN controllers are now called "Catalyst".)

8500 is more aimed ASR replacement while the 8200/8300 are targeting ISR 4k.  

Finally, I want to point out the following Cisco promos that anyone can take advantage: 

• Upgrade Today and Save: Cisco Catalyst 8000 -  This promo has been extended to 29 January 2022 and the discounts can be "added on top" of other discounts.  
• Free Cisco DNA Center Appliance with Qualifying Subscription Purchase - Promo ends 31 July 2021.
