Specifies the protocol versions ssh should support in order of preference. The possible values are `1' and `2'. Multiple versions must be comma-separated. The default is
`2,1'. This means that ssh tries version 2 and falls back to version 1 if version 2 is not available.

!!ProxyCommand
Specifies the command to use to connect to the server. The command string extends to the end of the line, and is executed with /bin/sh. In the command string, %h will be substituted by the host name to connect and %p by the port. The command can be basically anything, and should read from its standard input and write to its standard output. It should eventually connect an sshd(8) server running on some machine, or execute sshd -i somewhere. Host key management will be done using the !HostName of the host being connected (defaulting to the name typed by the user). Note that !CheckHostIP is not available for connects with a proxy command.
