Anyone know how to locate the manufacturing date for the following switch series?
3750, 3560, 2950? I work at a University and we're trying to inventory the dates all of the networking equipment was created on so that we can figure out where we have the oldest switches to start replacing / upgrading....Thanks!
Do a "show version" and locate the System Serial Number.
The serial number is in this format: LLLYYWWSSSS
LLL = location of the supplier YY = year of manufacture WW = week of manufacture SSSS = serial-id
Year codes:
01 = 1997 02 = 1998 03 = 1999 04 = 2000 05 = 2001 06 = 2002 07 = 2003 08 = 2004 09 = 2005 10 = 2006 11 = 2007 12 = 2008-- Roel Koops
All of those switches are pretty new, only the 2950 is currently out of manufacture (replaced by the 2960 this year). I wouldn't replace any of them. I would replace 2924XL, 3500XL or 3550's, as these are all End-of-Life.
