9504 and Cards EoL

[ex-engineer]

Folks, I have a few questions. I have searched Cisco material online but it can get so confusing and time consuming. 

(1) I want to know if or when Cisco will announce the End of Sale/End of Support dates for the Nexus 9504 chassis itself. 

Why do I ask? because one of the fabric modules and lice cards will go EoL kind of soon, so I want to get ahead of it and replace them now. See the last two (2) rows in the table below in Italics.

(2) Has Cisco announced the end of sale/end of support dates for the replacement modules themselves?

Thanks, nice to know but I don't have S/Ns... its for a customer. I need to know general product EoL information which Cisco should be easily available. Anyway, the tool you sent is for checking Support coverage...

  - If there are no similar announcements as for the first modules mentioned then it is not mentioned yet and or 'not yet easily available' ; you may inform with TAC or local reseller,

Hello @ex-engineer ,

the platform is modular so not all modules are going to EoS at the same time.

The Fabric module will be replaced by N9K-C9504-FM-G as it is explained in the second link you have provided.

The linecard will be replaced by N9K-X97160YC-EX according to first link you have provided.

However, the chassis and the supervisor may be still currenti if they support the new fabric modules and the new linecards

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Giuseppe!!! I remember you from 15 years ago! lol... You, me (used to be Joe Smith) and Jon Marshall used to answer 80% of the questions on the message boards, especially the LAN and WAN routing stuff... hope you're doing well. 

So, I totally got what youre saying. And according to my table above, yes I know the replacement cards. I am asking if the chassis itself... the 9504 chassis, is going EoL soon or End of Support... because if they are, I will recommend to my client that he just replace the 2 switches themselves and be done with it.
