For SMI Agent, if the Server IP Configuration list contains a duplicate IP address or is
empty, an error message displays and the configuration wizard closes.
NOTE
If the “hostname” contains invalid characters, the host name does not display in the list.

prevents clients and devices from communicating with the server.
