Trade-in Eligible End of Life Load Modules

You can upgrade from existing legacy load modules to NOVUS -1G/10G using the Ixia Trade-in program.

The following load modules that have reached end of life or end of sale, are eligible for the Ixia Trade-in program.

To check the eligibility for trade-in of a load module see the Trade-in portal: https://support.ixiacom.com/trade-in/check.

If you have opted for a trade-in of any load module but have not returned or scrapped the load module within ninety days of shipment of the newly purchased load module, the trade-in product is deactivated, and all Ixia support obligations terminated.
The serial numbers of such load modules are added to the End of Life (EOL) list.

If a load module present in the current chassis is included in the EOL list, then on Server boot up, a message appears in IxServer logs.
An example of such message is as follows:

“03-16-2017 12:33:11.265        09a0      11           Alert      Removing Load Module with serial '082848' part number '860-1229-15' as it has been deactivated according to the Ixia trade-up program.”
