FQDN should be resolvable by connecting end systems via DNS.
Note
Walled Garden rules are not required for this network. The process of enabling a
captive portal on the network automatically creates rules allowing DNS, DHCP, and
redirection rules. However, if users are unable to connect to the network, consider
creating specific DNS and DHCP Allow rules as a Walled Garden configuration.
When you enable Captive Portal on a WLAN Extreme Campus Controller automatically builds
the role and redirect rules required for captive portal based on the Network Name configured in
the WLAN.

Used when building a back-end captive portal server to integrate with the system. Extreme
