Plesk for Linux

Question

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

Connect to the server via SSH
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 space 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.
