Configure a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)

After selecting your default gateway it's required you enter in your hostname and your domain in a Fully-Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) format.

A Fully-Qualified Domain Name is written from most specific (a host name) to least specific (a top-level domain), where each part of the domain separated by a period. For example, if you were to name the host lockbox and place it inside the guardiandigital.com domain the FQDN would be
lockbox.guardiandigital.com as in the example screen-shot below.
