Discovery Advanced IP Scoping

How to get here

Include IP Scope

• Include IP Scope. Enter the IP range that defines the addresses in which to include in the network scan. Leave this option blank if you do not want to limit the network scan.
  • For the Ping Sweep Discovery option, Include IP Scope is the same as the Seed IP Scope.
  • For the ARP Cache Discovery option, Include IP Scope indicates an IP address range that the network scan should attempt to discover.

    Example

  • A single IP address (i.e. 10.0.0.1)
  • A range of IP addresses (i.e. 10.0.0.1-10.0.0.100)
• A subnet range of IP addresses (i.e. 10.0.0.1/24 or 10.0.0.1/255.255.255.0)

Exclude IP Scope

• Exclude IP Scope. Enter the IP range that defines the range of IP addresses to exclude from the network scan. Leave this box blank if you want to include all IP addresses in the network scan.
  • For the Ping Sweep Discovery option, Exclude IP Scope might be an IP range of servers or workstations that are a subnet of the Seed IP Scope.
• For the ARP Cache Discovery option, Exclude IP Scope indicates an IP address range that the network scan should not attempt to discover.
