Brocade 6505 and FOS 9.0.X

[JerseyPhil]

Release notes for FOS 9.0.0 show support deprecate for the 6505 yet EOS for the the 6505 is April 2025?

does that mean we are stuck at the latest version of 8.2.2?

Hello Jersey,

FOS v9.0.0 will not be available for 6505.
Yes, End of Support Life (EoSL) for the product is April 2025.
The support period till April 2025 will be any breakfix support for the existing hardware and firmware.
The support period doesn't necessarily include version upgrade.

Regards,
