What does localAddr and localPort mean? #12

I am able to use this library to create a ssh tunnel. But what I don't understand is the localAddr and localPort. In the example from the README, it is set as below value. Where is the machine for IP address 192.168.1.2? Is it a separate host or a different network interface on client host? 

    localAddr: 27018,
    localPort: '192.168.1.2'

It is a different network interface on client host. You have to provide it if you want other machines in client lan to use the tunnel you create.
