Change the port statement in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restart sshd
Alternatively, you can make a port direction on your firewall, say, from TCP port 1234 to internal IP 22. Then, you don't need to change the server config.
My 2 cents.

How does one switch ssh ports? What is a good port to use? What ramifications does it have when I need to ssh in? Is it as simple as ssh user@hots:port?
In /etc/ssh/sshd_config replace "port 22" with "port <whatever high port (> 1024) you like>"
Then configure your ssh clients accordingly.
I was having my logs filled with *literally* hundreds of connection attempts to port 22 every single day. Since I moved ssh to another port that stopped.
I don't know if it is viable in your case but using /etc/hosts.allow and deny helps if you know what IPs are going to need SSH access.
Also, disable password authentication and use public/private key pairs as certification.
