Error with Eureka Server Cluster (peer awareness) - spring-boot

Question

My question is about Spring Cloud Eureka: I'm trying to run Eureka Cluster (2 nodes, localhost:8761, localhost:8762),
but some errors appear:
RedirectingEurekaHttpClient : Request execution error: endpoint=DefaultEndpoint{ serviceUrl='http://localhost:8761/eureka/}
RetryableEurekaHttpClient :
Request execution failed with message: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
DiscoveryClient : DiscoveryClient_UNKNOWN/192.168.1.4:8761 - was unable to refresh its cache! status = Cannot execute request on any known server
Here are application.yml files:
Server 1:
spring:
profiles: eureka-peer1
server:
port: 8761
eureka:
instance:
hostname: eureka-peer1
client:
registerWithEureka: true
fetchRegistry: true
serviceUrl:
defaultZone: http://eureka-peer2:8762/eureka/
Server 2:
spring:
profiles: eureka-peer2
server:
port: 8762
eureka:
instance:
hostname: eureka-peer2
client:
registerWithEureka: true
fetchRegistry: true
serviceUrl:
defaultZone: http://eureka-peer1:8761/eureka/
File /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 eureka-peer1
127.0.0.1 eureka-peer2
ErekaService1Application.java , ErekaService2Application.java:
package com.example.eurekaservice1;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.cloud.netflix.eureka.EnableEurekaClient;
import org.springframework.cloud.netflix.eureka.server.EnableEurekaServer;
#SpringBootApplication
#EnableEurekaServer
#EnableEurekaClient
public class EurekaService1Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(EurekaService1Application.class, args);
}
}
Removing #EnableEurekaClient and setting "registerWithEureka" and "fetchRegistry" to "false" gives the same results.
Moreover, standalone mode with these properties leads to the same error:
spring:
profiles: eureka-peer1
server:
port: 8761
eureka:
client:
registerWithEureka: false
fetchRegistry: false

Answer 1

Remove #EnableEurekaClient & dependency as well
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
