This is a degenerate case of a general option of the form x.x.x.x:y.y.y.y. Here x.x.x.x is the local IP

specified, or if just one side is specified, then x.x.x.x defaults to the IP address associated with the
local machine’s hostname (located in /etc/hosts), and y.y.y.y is determined by the remote machine.
