Resolved IP Whitelist in ModSecurity: Found another rule with the same id

[alex101]

My server configuration is Plesk Onyx 17.8.11 on Debian 9.5 with Comodo ModSecurity (subscription).

When trying to whitelist one IP serverwide in ModSecurity with a rule such as:
SecRule REMOTE_ADDR "^192\.168\.1\.1$" phase:1,id:210280,nolog,allow

It throws the following error:
"Invalid ModSecurity configuration: AH00526: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/plesk.conf.d/modsecurity.conf: ModSecurity: Found another rule with the same id".

However modsecurity.conf file is empty.

Try to reinstall modsecurity:

# dpkg -P aum
# mv /var/asl /var/asl_bk
# mv /etc/asl /etc/asl_bk
# cat > /etc/apache2/conf.d/00_mod_security.conf
^C
# plesk installer remove --components modsecurity
# plesk repair web -y
# plesk installer add --components modsecurity

Thank you for your help.
It wasn't a Plesk issue after all. It was my dumb mistake. I misunderstood the modsecurity's whitelist syntax.
I thought by adding id:210280 that it would whitelist the IP for that particular rule's ID instead of being just the whitelist rule's ID.
Everything works fine with comodo rules in Debian 9.5.
