NMAP Scan in Subnets

This guide walks you through the process of NMAP scanning within subnet in LightMesh. Scan is a network scanning tool that can be used to scan networks for devices and services. It supports multiple scan types, including NMAP and Excel file uploads. You can import the results of a Scans operation into LightMesh to automatically create IP address records for the devices that were found. Once the file is uploaded, it updates the IP addresses within the subnet in the form of IP assignments or reservations.
