   1. Optionally disable automatic firewall configuration.
   2. Optionally disable the use of JSON protocol.
   3. Optionally add a host SSH fingerprint to increase security. You can add it manually, or fetch it automatically.
9. You can configure the Power Management, SPM, Console, and Network Provider using the applicable tabs now; however, as these are not fundamental to adding a Red Hat Enterprise Linux host, they are not covered in this procedure.
10. Click OK to add the host and close the window.

Procedure 7.3. Approving a Registered Hypervisor

1. From the Administration Portal, click the Hosts tab, and then click the host to be approved. The host is currently listed with the status of Pending Approval.
2. Click Approve to open the Edit and Approve Hosts window. You can use the window to specify a name for the Hypervisor, fetch its SSH fingerprint before approving it, and configure power management. For information on power management configuration, refer to Section 7.5.4.2, “Host Power Management Settings Explained”.
3. Click OK. If you have not configured power management, you are prompted to confirm whether to proceed without doing so; click OK.
