Two of my indexer is not working they are not receiving data from Universal forwarder.
when i run the command ./splunk display listen so it shows 9998 is listening and ./splunk list forward-server
gives the below result.

Active forwards:
10.246.250.154:9998 (ssl)

Configured but inactive forwards: 10.246.250.155:9998 10.246.250.156:9998

 

Let me know what i can do to activate the other two indexers

Is the forwarder logging any errors about failing to connect to the indexers?

This kind of errors typically show problems either on the network level (some firewall in the middle not allowing traffic from the UF to the indexers) or the host firewall on the indexer not allowing the incoming traffic.
