From what I can tell on CCO, the following have reached end-of-life for software upgrades

NPE-100 NPE-150 http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps341/prod_eol_noti ce09186a00 8032d41c.html NPE-200 http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps341/prod_eol_noti ce09186a00 8032d592.html NPE-175 http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps341/prod_eol_noti ce09186a00 80092106.html

Yes, but the NPE is a component of a router, Cisco releases IOS for routers, not for components.

What EOL means for components in terms of IOS I think is something along the lines of "we won't deliberately remove support for it but if we need the space in the image or there's a conflict, support goes"

I'm sure if there had been an easy way to avoid it with CSCec14039 or CSCee04235 they wouldn't have knocked NPE 100 and 150 support.

You are correct that we would have prevented this if we could have without extensive amounts of work.

But those were internal microcode bugs, to fix them they probably had to make the microcode bigger for the NPE's which meant no room left for the NPE 100 and 150 microcode.

It didn't have anything to do with microcode but to explain the internals is more information that I am allowed to divulge.

Sorry..I help where I can.

If I read the following correctly, the only NPE left for non-VXR is the NPE-225

Which is a shame as I recall there's some hardware issues with certain older PA cards and certain of their hardware revisions and that NPE.
