[Solved] Specifying the interface for SSH to use

I have an arch box with 2 network cards, one is connected to my router and the other is connected to a switch.

If I wanted to SSH into a computer connected to the switch I would need to use the second ethernet card.

How to I specify which card for SSH to use?

Thanks

Maybe the -b option:

From the ssh man page:

-b bind_address
              Use  bind_address  on the local machine as the source address of the connection.  Only useful on systems with
              more than one address.

Thanks,
I was scanning the manpage for "interface" or "network device"
