The IP Scanner allows you to specify a network segment and scan for IP information. The tool is mainly used as a way to select a set of computers but it can also be used to explore the available machines for an IP segment.
To scan, enter the IP address to start from and the IP address to end at in the From and To fields. As you change the IP segment, the total number of IP addresses to scan is displayed underneath the To field. To specify the criteria to apply, in order to list an IP address in the Results window, check one or more of the following criteria:
IP is Alive - The IP address must answer a ping to be accepted.
IP Resolves to a Name - The IP address must resolve to a DNS or NetBIOS name to be accepted.
IP Resolves to a MAC Address - The IP address must resolve to a MAC address to be accepted.
An IP address must pass all checked conditions for the IP address to be listed in the Results window. Click on Scan to initiate the scan with the configured criteria.
Note: During a scan, you can click on the Stop Scan button at any time to abort the process.
Once the scan is complete, you can export its results by clicking on the Report button located at the top right corner of the IP Scanner window.
If the IP Scanner tool is triggered by the Select Computers feature, clicking on the OK button returns the contents of the Results window as a computer selection.
The Goverlan IP Calculator can be used to define an IP Network Mask.
