Linksys LGS318 lifespan / lifecycle?

[andys]

Hi all,

Does anyone know what the EoL timeframe for the LGS318 might reasonably be expected to be? My apologies if I'm missing it somewhere obvious, but I was unable to unearth this info via Googling, nor from the Linksys site.

The LGS318 was introduced in 2014 (source), so at 7 years out now, I wouldn't be surprised if they EOS'd it in the next couple/few years, then EOL'd it a year or two after that. 10 years is a reasonable window for switch support lifetime. Depending on what this will be used for, you may want to look at Cisco CBS, or used enterprise switches off eBay.
