This means that the connection made by z/OS OpenSSH was lost. It happened right at the beginning, when the client is trying to read the servers SSH hello/version string. The most common cause of this problem is a firewall issue.

Good Morning and Happy Holidays !!!
Thank you for the reply, I assume you mean a firewall at the remote side?

All that can be said is that the network connection was lost during the intial "hello" version-string exchange.
If the problem is a firewall, it is not possible to tell from this information where it was.
