Thanks, I should read docs more carefully. What I am not sure about in above is why it states "If the local BIG-IP device is added as a peer authority device". When trust is created another device is added from device we are logged in - so it's local device. It's remote device that is added to trust, so shouldn't it say "If the REMOTE BIG-IP device is added as a peer authority device"?

It's probably not an issue for F5 pros like you but for newcomer this kind of misleading or not precise definitions really makes life harder when trying to figure out quite new area of knowledge. There is at least few other examples of such info in mentioned SOL. You don't care because it's so obvious for you how things are working but for me that is lost time on figuring out if I don't understand something or info is wrong. BTW, is that make sense to post comments to SOL, I mean is anybody reading such comments? Piotr
