To quickly visualize this, you have: Internet<->Firewall/DMZ (bastion host)<->Protected Network (Server1, Server2, ...Server n) The idea is that only the Firewall/DMZ has port 22 open. You then have to do an extra SSH to get to the Server boxes. If you setup SSH keys to the bastion host instead of passwords, then that would be easier. So, you protect the rest of the network by avoid people probing your servers and you can reach them anytime you want by means of an extra SSH.
