That's much like what I'm seeing.

The Pi2 has been used on wired ethernet, but under
FreeBSD rather than RasPiOS. The "no route to host" message rather
suggests the issue resides somewhere in the network. 

The original trigger for this investigation was wanting to use ssh
to avoid need for a keyboard on the Pi2. With your help I found an
accessibility aid called "onboard", using a temporary keyboard.  
For immediate purposes, the problem is solved.

Thanks very much for all your help!
