Is the HPE 6600, HSR and MSR Routers end of life?
Past end of serviceEvery tracked HPE 6600, HSR and MSR Routers SKU group is past HPE end of service life (last group Dec 2023). Units in production should be treated as unsupported. For past-EOSL units, weigh third-party maintenance, spares, replacement, or a documented run-to-failure.
Why this score
- Past end of service life — 32 months ago
- EOSL computed from the vendor support-life policy, not a per-model published date
- Category: routers
The score reflects support-lifecycle timing and source confidence only — higher means more support runway. It is not a risk, safety or compliance rating. How it’s calculated →

Options from here
Unsupported nowThe HPE 6600, HSR and MSR Routers is past HPE end of service life. These are the paths teams take from here:
Keep it in production past the OEM cutoff with an independent maintainer.
Buy spares now, while units still circulate on the secondary market.
It is unsupported today — set a migration timeline and budget.
Low-criticality role — document the risk, harden backups, retire on your terms.
Independent and informational — EOSL.ai sells no hardware or maintenance and lists no paid placements. Third-party maintenance keeps unsupported gear in production past the OEM cutoff; whether it fits depends on the asset's role.
End-of-sale dates are taken from the HPE end-of-sale bulletin linked in each group. End-of-service-life is computed as end-of-sale + 5 years per HPE's published support-life policy — HPE does not publish a per-model EOSL date.
