PRODUCT MIGRATION OPTIONS

There is no replacement available for the Cisco Cisco User Registration Tool at this time.

Current customers of Cisco User Registration Tool are recommended to migrate to IEEE 802.1X and/or MAC Authentication Bypass authentication techniques. Cisco Catalyst switches currently support 802.1x and MAC Authentication Bypass. Customers who use the Cisco URT in conjunction with VLAN Query Protocol (VQP) and VLAN Management Policy Server (VMPS) functions on the Cisco Catalyst switches should be aware those functions will be deprecated on the Catalyst in the future. When those functions are obsolete, even if the Cisco URT has not reached its end of life, the Cisco URT will not be usable.

Customers may be able to continue to purchase the end-of-sale product through Cisco's Authorized Refurbished Equipment program. Refurbished units of the end-of-sale product are available in limited supply for sale in certain countries on a first-come, first-served basis.
