Troubleshooting
Problem
Attempting to add a remote managed host can fail with the error:
"ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer"
The error indicates that the remote system terminated the SSH connection attempt to the remote host. This is a generic error often caused by network or server-side configurations.
Symptom
While attempting to connect to the managed host using SSH, you may encounter the following error:
# ssh x.x.x.x
ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer
Enable debugging, try connecting to the managed host again via SSH, and verify if you encounter the following messages.
# ssh -v x.x.x.x
