Hello there, I would like to know the implcations on this EoL for the swtich 3750X. According to the EoL notice it says:
End of Vulnerability/Security Support: HX Oct,30 2019
Last Date of Support: HW Oct, 31 2021
How is it that you can't get any Vulnerability/Security support after oct 30, 2019 but you may have HW support till oct, 31 2021? Are those vulnerability/security still provided for active contracts until 2021? What is the sense to keep those SW two years if you don't have any support for vulnerability/security?
Thanks

Some Security Bulletins that have software fixes now have "Customers Without Service Contract" section.

1. Yes you are correct you will get RMA/Hardware support till 31 Oct 2021 but not any Vulnerability/Security support after 30 Oct 2019.

2. I think Cisco mean they will not release any software remedy for new security vulnerability issue but if you have any active SW contract then that will get support from Cisco.

My interpretation is the following:
Cisco will still support the boxes if they fail. But due to due diligence you should not operate them any longer as they could have severe vulnerabilities.
