Michael's pointing in the proper direction.

Check out the OpenSSH Legacy Options page for more details.  I've 
successfully used this information to log into Red Hat 5.x from the 
'90s.  (Not contemporary RHEL.)

Link - OpenSSH: Legacy Options

Note:  This works exceedingly well in the ssh client config file 
(~/.ssh/config or /etc/ssh/ssh_config).  Using the config file means 
that anything that uses OpenSSH commands benefits from and inherits the 
configuration parameters; rsync, git, what have you.
