Hello @Ajay and welcome to this community 
What are you attempting to connect to? Are you trying to establish an SSH connection to the Jenkins controller? Or are you attempting to connect from the Jenkins controller to a Jenkins agent? Or is there another scenario you have in mind? Please provide further details and elaborate on your specific use case.
