When you move a hostname from the evaluation hostnames list, it's added to your security policy as a protected hostname. You can provide `-Hostnames` and `-Mode` as individual parameters or all at once with the `-Body` parameter. When making a request, you can specify a configuration by its name or ID. The `-VersionNumber` parameter is an integer or the word `latest`. ## Parameters
