•
The

Starting a Discovery Scan
Retina’s discovery scan feature is used to determine if a specific IP or range of IPs is active on your network. You can
also use scan results to determine if there are additional IPs with Retina licenses on your network that you did not
know about. Scan results can provide information about an outside source that is attempting to exploit your network.
Complete the following steps to start a discovery scan:
1.
Select the
Discover
tab from the Retina Interface (unless it is already selected).
The
Discover
window appears.
2.
Click
Targets
from the
Actions
pane (unless it is already selected).
The
Select Targets
options appear.
3.
You may select a number of target types from the
Target Type
drop-down:
•
Single IP
– Then enter the IP address or the name of the server that you want Retina to scan in the Address
field.
By default, Retina displays the scanner’s IP address in the
Address
field.
•
IP Range
– Then enter a range of IP addresses for Retina to scans as follows:
•
Enter the start range IP address in the
From
field
•
Enter the end range IP address in the
To
field
By default, Retina displays the network and subnet numbers from your PC’s IP address in the
From
and
To
fields.
The default IP address in the
From
field ends with 1 and the default IP address in the
To
field ends with 254 as the
host number. 1 to 254 is the full range of IP addresses you can scan.
•
CIDR Notation
– Enter the IP address and network prefix in the Address fields.
For example, 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 2 0 5 . 0 / 1 8 means the first 18 bits are used to represent the network and the remaining 14
bits are used to identify hosts. Common prefixes are 8, 16, 24, and 32 (Class A, B, C, and single host, respectively).
•
Named Host
– Then enter either the DNS or the NetBIOS name of the desired host.
•
Address Groups
– Select one or a number of address groups to be scanned. You may also modify, create or
import address groups by clicking the
Modify
button (see
Modifying Address Groups
on page 38).
