Network scan importer

Versio.io can scan networks to help you verify the completeness of the detected IP-based devices, such as hosts, routers, switches, network printers, etc. The network scanner identifies devices using various methods:

  • Reading the ARP table
  • Pinging the IP address
  • Reverse DNS lookup (NsLookup)
  • Establishing a connection to a port
  • Establishing a connection via SNMP

Attention

Unlike other Versio.io importers, the detected devices are not saved as Versio.io instances!

The results are available in the Discovery & Insights dashboard (Environment settings -> OneImporter & OneGate -> Discovery & insights tab). The results indicate whether the device already exists as an instance in Versio.io or is unknown. To help you navigate, we display additional details for unknown devices, such as network names or manufacturers.

Configuration

The following configuration options are available:

Profile

You can choose between three different profiles. The more network requests the scanner sends, the faster it will complete the scan. Be aware that too many network requests could slow down your network!

Profile Network traffic Estimated duration
Fast ~25 IPs per second ~5 minutes for a /24 subnet
Medium ~10 IPs per second ~15 minutes for a /24 subnet
Slow ~1 IPs per second ~2 hours for a /24 subnet
