4. Optional: Type the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) of the Endpoint Policy Server.
For example, somehost.example.com
If you specify the FQDN, the Endpoint clients use the FQDN and not the IP address to

clients is not interrupted. Another advantage is that you can use an internal non-routable,
private IP address for the server (for example 10.1.2.3).
