# Step 3. Specify Server Name and Role

At the **Connection** step of the wizard:

1. Enter the DNS name or IP address of the backup server you want to connect. 

   If you are adding a High Availability cluster, use the IP address or hostname of the primary node.

2. Specify the server role — Veeam Backup & Replication server or Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager.

   If you choose to add Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager, Veeam ONE will automatically connect all Veeam Backup & Replication servers added to the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager.

3. If you want to enable Veeam ONE dashboard and report integration in Veeam Backup & Replication, select the **Allow** **Veeam Backup & Replication** **to display analytics data** check box. For details, see [Veeam Backup & Replication Web UI](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/vbr_web_console.html?ver=13#analytics).
4. If you want to define a port other than the default 443, enter the port number.

::: note

Veeam Analytics service must be installed when adding Veeam Backup & Replication servers.
