Network Scan work similar to Angry IP

Hello,

Our network scan feature checks for open ports and matches them to known protocols (RDP, ARD, Web, etc):


It should be possible for us to have a mode that checks with ICMP requests, but what I want to ask is the kind of behavior you're expecting for the result.
Would you want RDM to consider all of the machines that successfully respond to the request to show up as "host" entries since we can't assume the type they should have?

Regards,

I would love the ability to have a screen quite similar to Angry IP. YOu get the IP, ping, hostname, ports available (if any), mac address, and mac vendor

Then have the ability to add the device would be nice as well especially for ssh sessions as well. Having an icon to show the status of the ping from the ip would be a nice touch. Color green if reachable, red if not. This could be quite helpful when trying to add a large amount of switches that use ssh.

Hello,

Thank you for the additional details. I will discuss with our team to see how we could implement this kind of idea into our network scan feature (or whether this would split off into a different feature).

Regards,

Thank you very much. It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to implement. Really just adding ICMP as an additional item or port number to scan

Thanks again.

Yes this would be a great feature add. The reason for me is that our Security department does not like use using third party freeware apps like Advanced IP Scanner or Angry IP tool, which really only do one simple thing, ping subnet ranges as pictured above. The RDM scan tool, as mentioned previously is useful, but painfully slow if you just want to see what IPs are responding in a subnet, and what they resolve to. Highly recommend building this feature! Thanks

I absolutely agree, it's on my plate to improve the UI of the network scanner, we can definitely do all these things, It's mostly a matter of UI, as we already do all these things in the background, the "Host" entry that you see are results of ICMP Pings. I have logged an official ticket with your comments and I will get to it shortly. I think we can do great things with this feature as well.

Thanks for your feedback,

Following out of intrest. As this is a feature I would be intressted in also.

Absolutely, it's on my plan for our 2025.2 release so you should see it in June or so, we will completely redesign the UI of the network scan and improve it tremendously, making it completely customizable.

Christmas in June? I'll take it!

Is there any update on this as of yet? I have not noticed any new Network scan additions yet. I know you guys are busy but was still seeing if this is in the works.

Thanks,
Ian Lowe

Yes we are still working on this, thanks for your patience while we make sure to make it perfect!
