[c-nsp] Catalyst 6509 EOS/EOL

[Antonio Soares]

It's possible to extend the support for the non-E 6500s with something they
call "Post Last Day of Support (Post-LDoS)". Basically you have a price for
the service that is the double of a 6500-E. But you can have the non-E
supported until 31-Dec-2015.

I am afraid you cannot renew the maintenance agreement for EoL product. Read
this:

apparently expects us to junk those and replace them with 6509E chassis.
