Getting Error: Could not connect to IP Connection reset by peer

[lrnnetops]

Hi Team,

We are experiencing the following error after adding couple of nodes in Nagios XI. Please help us in resolving this error.
"CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not connect to 10.x.x.x: Connection reset by peer"

[kg2857]

Is nrpe or xinetd running on the remote hosts?
Is allowed_hosts set right in nrpe.cfg or the xinetd config?
Is port 5666 open on the hosts?

We are using xinetd, after starting xinetd now below error is coming.
CHECK_NRPE: (ssl_err != 5) Error - Could not complete SSL handshake with 10.x.x.x: 1
