Hi Community,

Greetings!!

In order to reduce the risk we need to upgrade the SSH on MDS switch. Can someone confirm if the SSH upgradation for MDS swith is same as Catalyst Switch.

You can configured SSHv2 or if you looking more cipher upgrade to latest version.

On MDS the SSH services are embedded in NX-OS.  This means you will have to upgrade non-disruptively to a newer version of NX-OS that has the fixes for SSH.
An outline of how to perform non-disruptive upgrades can be found here in the How to Perform an MDS 9000 Series Switch Non-Disruptive Upgrade white paper.

The official upgrade guide is located here. Cisco MDS 9000 NX-OS Software and Firmware Upgrade and Downgrade Guide, Release 9.x 

Always check out the recommended releases, and the release notes.
