Error Code Description

66257099

Only one protocol can be specified.

66257100

Only one local port can be specified.

66257101

Only one remote port can be specified.

66257104

IPsec policy with same name already exists in this SVM.

66257107

The specified pre-shared key is not a valid hexadecimal string.

66257109

The specified pre-shared key is not a valid Base64 encoded binary string.

66257110

Failed to a create policy sequencing value.

66257111

The IPsec policy with action ESP TRANSPORT provides packet protection and requires a secret key or certificate for authentication.

66257112

The IPsec policy with the action specified does not provide packet protection and the authentication method provided for the policy will be ignored.

66257113

Only one local IP subnet can be specified.

66257114

Only one remote IP subnet can be specified.

66257115

Port ranges containing more than one port are not supported.

66257117

IPsec is not supported on the SVM specified in the policy, IPsec is supported on data SVMs only.

66257120

The subnet selector must be a host address (An IPv4 address with a 32-bit netmask or an IPv6 address with a 128-bit netmask).

66257121

The maximum limit of IPsec Policies has reached for the specified SVM.

66257125

The local_endpoint.address must be specified with local_endpoint.netmask.

66257126

The remote_endpoint.address must be specified with remote_endpoint.netmask.

66257127

The local subnet must be configured as a non-zero subnet.

66257128

Invalid ANY wildcard subnet.

66257129

A specific local or remote port number is required when the remote subnet is configured as an ANY wildcard subnet.

66257132

Invalid value for port field. Value should be in range <0-65535>.

66257133

A pre-shared key is needed for the PSK authentication method. Use the secret_key option to specify a key.

66257134

An end-entity certificate is needed for the PKI authentication method. Use the certificate.uuid option to specify an end-entity certificate.

66257137

A pre-shared key is not needed for the PKI authentication method.

66257139

Certificate with the specified UUID was not found.

66257140

Only certificates with a client or server type are supported.

66257202

The specified SVM name is invalid.

66257203

The specified SVM UUID is invalid.

66257204

The specified IPspace UUID and IPspace name refer to different IPspaces.

66257205

The specified SVM must exist in the specified IPspace.

66257396

IPsec is not supported for the admin SVM in a MetroCluster configuration.
