3560CX Instant Access Feature still available with Cat6800's?

[dvan]

Hi,

Given that the Catalyst 6800 Instant Access Clients were announced EOL, does this affect the 3560CX’s capability and supportability as an Instant Access Client to the 6800 platform, and is this feature going to continue to be available and supported moving forward?

Thanks,

Denis

Hi
3560C series is eol too now , that feature as far as im aware will end its not available in any of the newer platforms or in the config or release guides , also the FEXs are being retired by Cisco too from speaking to them recently , you might want to start looking at the new catalyst 9k portfolio , 94s, 95s and the 96s are out now too or very soon

3560CX is still available.
Instant access is "dead". The only platform that will support "Instant Access" will be the Nexus family of switches.
