You can specify the host names (for example, workstation5.webmethods.com) or IP addresses (for example, 132.906.19.22 or 2001:db8:85a3:8d3:1319:8a2e:370:7348) in the above fields. Repeat this step to add the required host names and IP addresses to the list.

Char | Description | Example |
* | Matches any number of characters | r*.webmethods.com |
? | Matches any single character | workstation?.webmethods.com |
