SRX Admin configures peers-synchronize between 2 MNHA nodes and and while doing commit-check or commit, gets the below error:

error:

error: netconf: could not read hello

error: did not receive hello packet from server

error: Setting up sessions for peer: 'EGK-PF03' failed

warning: Cannot connect to remote peers, ignoring it

The peers-synchronize config is correct.

Correct SSH host-keys are present on both nodes.

There is a SSH connection rate limit configured as 3.

The peers-synchronize feature uses 3 simultaneous SSH connections for connect, transfer and copy the config to the peer node.

Hence, rate limiting the SSH connections to 3 will cause the peers-synchronize to fail with Error.

Have the SSH rate limit config removed or adjusted to a higher value for accommodating the required number of SSH connections.

SRX > set system services ssh connection-limit 3
