Filter security devices by hardware end-of-life status

Use the Hardware End-of-Life filter to identify devices that are approaching or have reached their hardware end-of-life date for support planning and risk mitigation. This helps ensure you maintain supported hardware configurations and avoid operational and security risks associated with unsupported devices.

The Security Devices page displays all physical and virtual onboarded devices and templates created from onboarded devices. The page classifies devices and templates based on their type and displays them in corresponding tabs dedicated to each device type.

The Filter panel provides multiple options to narrow down results and find devices based on specific attributes, including Devices/Services, Hardware Versions, Device End-of-Life, Software Versions, Snort Version, Configuration Status, Connectivity States, Conflict Detection, Health Status, Secure Device Connectors, and Labels.

Running unsupported hardware may pose operational and security risks because Cisco no longer provides software updates, security patches, or technical support after the EoL date.

Note

The Hardware EoL filter currently supports Firewall Threat Defense devices managed by On-Premises Firewall Management Center and Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center, and ASA devices.
