Cassandra nodetool: Connection refused to host: 172.24.0.10

Question

When i am using Cassandra's nodetool to see the ring of a remote host (use IP address), it gives following error, how to make this work? BTW - I can ping that host using IP address.

root@ServerA:~/cassandra# bin/nodetool -h 172.24.0.10 ring
