There is a similar file to sshd_config called ssh_config (note the
missing 'd' in the second one) in the same directory /etc/ssh/  There
you can specify which protocol(s) your ssh client uses to connect. 
I'd say that would probably be a good test.  Change the line
# Protocol 2,1
to
Protocol 1
and try to connect.  You should not be able to connect.  Then change it to
Protocol 2
and you should be able to connect.  Note, you only use one client,
ssh, you just tell it which protocol(s) it can use.  The default is to
use 2 first, then 1 if that fails.  2 is a better protocol and sshd
should be forced to use only 2 as your auditor has told you.  Is this
the default for Fedora?  I forget as we change it to only use 2 at
work.
