The OpenSSH SSH client supports SSH protocols 1 and 2. Protocol 2 is the default, with ssh falling back to protocol 1 if it detects protocol 2 is unsupported. These settings may be altered using the Protocol option in ssh_config(5)

-v Verbose mode. Causes ssh to print debugging messages about its progress. This is helpful in debugging connection, authentication, and configuration problems.

Multiple -v options increase the verbosity. The maximum is 3.

Example:

jyothis@dell:~$ ssh root@192.168.1.1 -v
OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009
