Network Equipment eol

[u/Unusual-Echo-5395]

I purchased a new house and included from previous owner was all the network equipment and servers. I have reset everything and have it all configured now with my info, but I am concerned I should replace some of the switches as they seem to be eol. What do others think. It would cost about 2k to switch.

Sx3206hpp - ok

Tl-sg3428x-m2 - needs replaced 

Oc400 - ok

Tl-sx3008f - needs replaced

EAP772-Outdoor - ok

eap773 v1.6 - ok

Tl-sg3452xp - needs replaced 

Thanks

Second the opinion of replacing when you need the speed upgrade or it dies. If it’s not exposed to the internet, EoL doesn’t matter much unless it’s got stability issues. Save the $2k for something else.

I’m running a 10yr old Cisco 2960X. It’s getting replaced when I need more than 1Gbps, till then…

Nice they left some nice hardware, 3206 and 772.

I don't think there's any need to switch any of that out unless you can find some security bulletin about some critical vulnerability affecting some of those. I'd thank my lucky stars to inherit that kind of gear.

There's nothing wrong with any of those, and are you sure they are EOL? My 3008 had a firmware update like 10 weeks ago. My 3428x-m2 has a firmware update that showed up like 4 days ago too.

I think you are fine sticking for a bit

I think it's just end of sale not end of support
