FQDN Host

The FQDN Host page displays the list of all the available FQDN host.

FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) Hosts allow entities to be defined once and be re-used in multiple referential instances throughout the configuration. For example,

www.example.com

has an IP Address as 192.168.1.15.

Rather than remembering the IP Address of the intended website while accessing it, you can simply provide

www.example.com

in the browser. The FQDN

www.example.com

will now be mapped to its respective IP Address, and the intended webpage opens.

The page also provides option to add a new FQDN host, update the existing host, or delete a host.

Add a FQDN Host

Use the Add FQDN Host page to create a new FQDN host.

The Add FQDN Host page allows you to manually configure a new FQDN host.

1. Go to System > Hosts and Services > FQDN Host and click Add.

2. Enter FQDN host details.
