_This solution is relevant for Discovery Probe version 4.0 and above._

The IP Range Scan can be configured to include individual IPs, a Range or an entire Network. Here are the supported formats when specifying the hosts to be discovered and excluded from a scan.

IP Range Input Format (Include these IP Members)

The Discovery Probe will support the following options for defining the IP Ranges/Networks that should be scanned.

  • | | |
  • Single host192.168.1.1
    Multiple hosts192.168.1.3,5,6
    All hosts in a subnet (CIDR)192.168.1.1/23
    All hosts in a range192.168.1-3.15-25
  • Enter every IP Address, Range or Network in a New Line in the text area
  • _Note: Configuring a scan with very large IP ranges will result in long scan times and might impact the traffic in your network._

    Exclusion List Input Format (Exclude these IP Members)

    The Discovery Probe will support the following options for defining the IP Ranges/Networks that should be excluded from the scan.Note that the input format for specifying multiple hosts in exclusion list is different from the format for scanning multiple hosts

  • | | |
  • Single host192.168.1.1
    Multiple hosts192.168.1.3,192.168.1.5
    All hosts in a subnet (CIDR)192.168.1.1/23
