Question

How to add several IP addresses into whitelist Fail2ban via CLI?

What is correct syntax for the cli command to add multiple trusted IP addresses in one line?

Answer

  1. Connect to the server via SSH

  2. Run the following command to add 203.0.113.2, 203.0.113.3, 203.0.113.4 IP addresses:

    # plesk bin ip_ban --add-trusted "203.0.113.2;203.0.113.3;203.0.113.4"

IP addresses have to be separated by a ; symbol and surrounded by quotes.

Note: For a description, add: -description "reason for whitelisting"

    Is there a way to use this command and add a description as we can do by GUI ?

    Although it is undocumented on the web docs, there is the option to add

    -description "reason for whitelisting"

    to the command.

    Hi, thank you for the feedback. 
    The article was updated. 
    Currently, the delimiter should be a ; symbol.
