About the Hardware End of Life Page
To access this page, click Trust > Integrity > Hardware EOL.
Routing Director automatically tracks the end of life (EOL) information of managed devices in the network and their individual components whose EOL dates have been announced. Routing Director builds an EOL hardware inventory of all the hardware components in the network by matching the discovered devices with the information available about their components in the EOL database. During this process, if it identifies affected components, they are flagged on the Hardware End of Life page.
