Cisco Nexus 2000 Series End-of-Life & EOSL Dates

VARIES BY PART NUMBER84 of 113 tracked part numbers are past support. The other 29 run to August 2027.

The Cisco Nexus 2000 Series is a data center switch in Cisco's Nexus product line. End-of-sale and end-of-service-life dates are listed by part number below, each linked to the Cisco EOL bulletin.

Cisco Nexus 2000 Series has mixed lifecycle status. Some SKU groups are already past Cisco end of service while others run until Aug 2027. Confirm the exact part number before any support or refresh decision. For past-EOSL units, weigh third-party maintenance, spares, replacement, or a documented run-to-failure. Cisco’s named migration path: 2 successor part numbers.

Support Runway Score10/100 · Little or no runway
Why this score
  • Past end of service life for the first part numbers 60 months ago; the last are supported to Aug 2027
  • Vendor-published date, source-linked
  • Mixed status across SKU groups: some past EOSL, some still supported
  • Vendor-named replacement / migration path available
  • Category: data center switch

Support-lifecycle timing and source confidence only. Higher means more runway. It is not a risk, safety or compliance rating. How it is calculated

Figure 2. The 2000 Series against 7 other models in Cisco Nexus. Each bar runs from the earliest milestone Cisco publishes for that model, which is first availability where it gives one and end of sale otherwise, to its last date of support. The vertical rule is today; bars entirely to its left are past support. 2 further models in this line publish no usable date range and are not plotted.

Options from here

84 Cisco Nexus 2000 Series part numbers are past Cisco end of service while 29 remain supported (to Aug 2027). For the past-EOSL units, these are the usual paths:

Third-party maintenance

Keep it in production past the OEM cutoff with an independent maintainer.

Pre-stock spares

Buy spares now, while units still circulate on the secondary market. Current eBay listings for Nexus 2000 Series ↗

Plan replacement

It is unsupported today. Set a migration timeline and budget.

Run to failure

Low-criticality role: document the risk, harden backups, retire on your terms.

Check your exact part numbers Weigh your support options

Independent and informational. EOSL.ai sells no hardware and no maintenance, and lists no paid placements. Third-party maintenance keeps unsupported gear in production past the OEM cutoff; whether it fits depends on the role the asset plays.

Nexus 2000 Series questions

Is the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series end of life?

Partly. Some 2000 Series SKU groups are past end of service life while others are still supported. See the dates by SKU group below.

What is the last date of support for the 2000 Series?

Last dates of support across 2000 Series SKU groups range from Nov 2021 to Aug 2027.

When does Cisco stop releasing security fixes for the 2000 Series?

Between Sep 2023 and Aug 2025, depending on the SKU group, for the SKU groups whose bulletin publishes the date. That is the End of Vulnerability/Security Support date in the Cisco EOL bulletin: the last date Cisco may release a remedy for a security vulnerability in the hardware.

Where do these 2000 Series dates come from?

Every end-of-sale and end-of-service-life date on this page links to the official Cisco EOL bulletin it was taken from.

What is the replacement for the 2000 Series?

Cisco's end-of-life bulletin lists 2 successor part numbers as the recommended migration path for the 2000 Series. Exact per-part-number replacements are in the linked bulletin.
