i'm trying to add a chef client node from chef workstation using knife bootstrap command.But getting error message as '''ERROR: Train::Transports::SSHFailed: SSH session could not be established'''
I have disabled iptables on chef client
[root@chefclient ~]# service iptables status
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status iptables.service
iptables.service - IPv4 firewall with iptables
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/iptables.service; disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)

Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full
'''knife bootstrap 192.168.56.6 -N chefclient.jp.com -U root --sudo -i /root/Downloads/chefsetup.pem'''
Getting result as:

The Issue is fixed after downloaded the knife.rb file,oraganization-validator.pem from chef server webui and kept in .chef directory on chefstation and ran the knife bootstrap command as below
'''knife bootstrap 192.168.56.6 -N chefclient.jp.com -U root'''
