Put the host in maintenance mode, reboot it and try logging in.

Is SSH service is showing started on Web UI? - Can check same on ESXi console.

Try to reach 22 port from source machine

Is there any firewall in between ?

Thanks.

But local checking is not available. I have to remote that site by Teamviewer.  so reboot will be lost  connection.
