This example shows how to add a trusted peer without providing the user ID of the sudo user.

SLX (config-tpvm-TPVM)# trusted-peer ip 10.23.31.67 password password

This example shows how to add a trusted peer (with IPv6 address) without providing the user ID of the sudo user.

SLX (config-tpvm-TPVM)# trusted-peer ipv6 2002:2002::2001:2001 password password

This example shows how to add a trusted peer and providing the user ID of the sudo user.

SLX (config-tpvm-TPVM)# trusted-peer ip 10.23.31.67 sudo-user extreme password password

When trying to run two sessions in parallel.

SLX (config-tpvm-TPVM)# trusted-peer ip 10.23.31.67 password password
Another trusted-peer configuration is in progress. Please try again later.

Note

This behaviour is common when you try to perform add-add, add-remove, or remove-remove commands running in parallel.

When the TPVM Peer IP address is not reachable and the user tries to add a trusted peer.

SLX (config-tpvm-TPVM)# trusted-peer ip 10.23.31.68 sudo-user extreme password password
Failed to connect to 10.23.31.68

When the user provides an invalid credential when adding a trusted peer.

SLX (config-tpvm-TPVM)# trusted-peer ip 10.23.31.67 sudo-user test password password 
Check input credentials.

Note

This message is displayed when invalid username or invalid password is supplied while creating a trusted peer.

When the user account used to access the remote trusted peer is not in the sudo user's list or the account is not configured properly.

SLX (config-tpvm-TPVM)# trusted-peer ip 10.23.31.67 sudo-user testuser password password
Check sudouser configuration for testuser user.

This example shows how to remove a configured trusted peer without providing the remote peer's sudo user account user name:

SLX (config-tpvm-TPVM)# no trusted-peer ip 10.23.31.67 password password

This example shows how to remove a configured trusted peer by providing the remote peer's sudo user account user name:

SLX (config-tpvm-TPVM)# no trusted-peer ip 10.23.31.67 sudo-user extreme password password

When trying to remove a trusted peer but the peer is not reachable.

SLX (config-tpvm-TPVM)# no trusted-peer 10.23.31.68 sudo-user extreme password password
Failed to connect to 10.23.31.68

when trying to remove a trusted peer, but the user credentials are incorrect.

SLX (config-tpvm-TPVM)# no trusted-peer ip 10.23.31.67 sudo-user extreme password wrognpass
