Network applications that require the IEEE 802.3 Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) should use the NM-1E or NM-4E Ethernet network modules.

SERVICE SUPPORT PROGRAMS
EoS refers to the time when certain products are no longer available for new purchases; it does not apply to service and support programs of the previously sold platforms. Cisco will continue to support the listed products through its SMARTnet® and comprehensive maintenance programs. Customers with either of these service contracts are entitled to free software updates, 24-hour phone support through the Technical Assistance Center (TAC), and advanced replacement of hardware for repairs. Comprehensive maintenance customers also receive onsite service. Customers who do not have a maintenance contract can purchase software updates and hardware repair services from Cisco to meet specific requirements rather than full-service coverage.
