HPE Aruba Networking 9000 Series Branch Gateways End-of-Life & EOSL Dates

PAST VENDOR SUPPORTHPE ended support between April 2023 and October 2024, depending on the part number.

HPE Aruba Networking 9000 Series Branch Gateways: wireless controllers and gateways. Each part number's end-of-sale and end-of-support dates come from the HPE Networking Support Portal end-of-life notice linked beside it.

Every tracked HPE Aruba Networking 9000 Series Branch Gateways SKU group is past HPE end of service life (last group Oct 2024). Units in production should be treated as unsupported. For past-EOSL units, weigh third-party maintenance, spares, replacement, or a documented run-to-failure.

Figure 1. Support ended between Apr 2023 and Oct 2024, depending on the part number. HPE issues no software maintenance and no security fixes for this product. Third-party maintenance, spares or replacement are the paths from here. EOSL.ai sells none of them and takes no placement fee.
Figure 2. The 9000 Series Branch Gateways against 7 other models in HPE Aruba Networking. Each bar runs from the earliest milestone HPE 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. 37 further models in this line publish no usable date range and are not plotted.
