man sshd_config; this option is perhaps your solution "ListenAddress."
So explicitly mention your LAN port(s).
<quote>
ListenAddress
Specifies the local addresses sshd(8) should listen on.
The following forms may be used:
ListenAddress host|IPv4_addr|IPv6_addr
ListenAddress host|IPv4_addr:port
ListenAddress [host|IPv6_addr]:port
If port is not specified, sshd will listen on the address
and all prior Port options specified. The
default is to listen on all local addresses. Multiple
ListenAddress options are permitted. Addition-
ally, any Port options must precede this option for
non-port qualified addresses.
