Before connecting an FPolicy server to a node, you must configure FPolicy by completing the following tasks:

  • Create an FPolicy event

  • Create an FPolicy external engine

  • Create an FPolicy policy

  • Create a scope for the FPolicy policy

Note The FPolicy event and external engine must be attached to the FPolicy policy.
Note The FPolicy policy should be enabled.

This parameter specifies the FPolicy server to which you want to connect the node. The specified server must be present in the external engine configuration of the above specified policy.
