[Ken Le]

Hi

I am trying to find the End of Support for Cisco Catalyst 4506-E Switch.

Can anyone point me to the right link as I checked at the Cisco website , there isn't any information on this.

Thanks.

Regards,

4506-E is not yet EoL, however, things may change in the next 14 months.

Nope.  None.  

The next replacement for the 4500 is the 9300, 9400 or 9500 (depending on port density).
Cisco's next direction will be DNA Centre.
In my personal opinion, as soon as DNA breaks into 2.0 barrier, 4500 chassis and supervisor card EoS announcement will be imminent.  I would say this is in the next 12 to 14 months away.

Hi, 

Which is supervisor installed in the Chassis?

There some parts of 4500 series are EOL. 

Here is the link to check them all:
