Device End of life

[nbeissat]

Hello,

If just find out that some Fortigate have End of Support Date (EOS) (https://support.fortinet.com/Information/ProductLifeCycle.aspx)

But i can't find some of them like:

-FortiGate-60D

-Fortigate-100D

-FortiGate-200D

-FortiGate-240D

Does it seems to be not yet announced for the Fortigate in "D" ?

Regards,

Nicolas

Anything not on the link you provided has at least 5 years support left in it

Hi,

Correct. These models are not in EoL ..

Yup, they don't have an EOL until they are officially listed.

Had a customer ask how long they could utilize a FortiSwitch 224E-POE switch. I don't see this switch in the product life-cycle information yet (https://support.fortinet.com/Information/ProductLifeCycle.aspx). Does anyone have an idea as to how long something like this might still remain within End of Support Date (EOS)?

Can a customer update their switch if the switch is not under support? The FortiGate firewall will be under support.

basically you could but without FortiCare Support you won't be able to download firmware images to update.

Anyhow EOL does not mean the device will stopp working then ;)

Plus as long as you have a valid FortiCare License for the device you will get support even though EOL. You paid for it.
