[c-nsp] Cisco life cycle strategy

[harbor235]

Hello,

What is your replacement strategy for Cisco gear reaching EOL milestones?

I prefer not to replace at the end of SW maintenance releases but prefer
the end of vulnerability/Security support. My assumption is by then all the
major bugs and fixes should be remedied/ fixed by then and the software
should be stable.

Last days for hardware replacement continue through the end of the service
contract. I would like to get as much investment protection as possible,
not to mention the potential of disruption of infrastructure services


thoughts? strategies?
