man sshd_config

edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config

#Port 22 is default and commented out.
Change it to anything you want...
Port 1234

Then restart sshd.
service sshd restart

ps.
Do this locally... if your logged in via SSH, you will be dropped.

"#" introduces a comment. Modifying comments doesn't change your configuration.

do not understand what you mean CCRVIC

[tebbens]

sshd_config should contain a Port entry WITHOUT a #...

Port 1234

After saving the file restart sshd.
Check to see if your system is listening on the port with:
netstat -tuna
You should see an entry with the port you specified.
