Description
This command specifies the SSH protocol version that will be supported by the SSH server. The server
may be configured as Secure Shell Version 1 (SSH1), Version 2 (SSH2) or both. SSH1 and SSH2 are
different protocols and encrypt at different parts of the packets. SSH1 uses the server as well as host
keys to authenticate systems, whereas SSH2 only uses host keys. SSH2 does not use the same
networking implementation that SSH1 does and is considered a more secure, efficient, and portable
version of SSH.
