BIG-IP EOSL: Frequently Asked Questions
What does end of service life (EOSL) mean for BIG-IP equipment?
EOSL is the date after which BIG-IP no longer sells support contracts or ships updates for a product. The equipment keeps working; only the OEM's willingness to support it ends. Third-party maintenance takes over from that date with engineering support and replacement parts.
Can I get support for BIG-IP products that are already past EOSL?
Yes. 28 BIG-IP products in this list are already past their EOSL date and all remain supportable. We hold spares for every model we quote and cover equipment for 5+ years past the OEM date.
How far ahead should I plan for a BIG-IP EOSL date?
Start 6 to 12 months before the EOSL date. That is enough time to compare the OEM's final renewal against third-party maintenance, decide whether to extend or refresh, and move coverage without a gap. We return an indicative price within 24 hours and a firm quote within 48.
