You may have meant this, but just to be clear ...

In the sshd server config file the above line allows both protocols (as
Nico says) but it gives the sshd server no preference for either protocol.

In the ssh client config file, that line allows both protocols _and_
specifies a preference for protocol 1, and if protocol 1 is not available
from the server, the client should try protocol 2.
