Usage Guidelines If you do not enter this command or if you do not specify a keyword, the SSH server selects the latest
SSH version supported by the SSH client. For example, if the SSH client supports SSHv1 and SSHv2,
the SSH server selects SSHv2.
The switch supports an SSHv1 or an SSHv2 server. It also supports an SSHv1 client. For more
information about the SSH server and the SSH client, see the software configuration guide
for this
release.
A Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman (RSA) key pair generated by an SSHv1 server can be used by an SSHv2
server and the reverse.
You can verify your settings by entering the show ip ssh or show ssh privileged EXEC command.
