The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Cisco MDS-SDK is a Python-based library for the Cisco MDS Switches.
This library is useful for automating day-to-day tasks or developing new tools which involve Cisco MDS Switches.
Cisco MDS-SDK leverages NX-API to communciate with devices, but it can also use SSH for backward compatibility. We recommend that you use NX-API for switches running Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.4(2a) or later.
