SSH2

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

How can I enable the SSH2 service in my server? I only can connect through SSH1 right now.

If you're using RedHat's default SSH implementation (i.e. OpenSSH), the same sshd service can serve both SSH1 and SSH2 protocols. Check the "Protocol" directive in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to see which protocol version (or both) is enabled.

If you need to change it, you must restart the sshd service (the command is "service sshd restart") so the change takes effect.

If the server offers both protocol versions, in SSH protocol the client decides which version to use. What kind of SSH client are you using?
