Configuring GFI LanGuard to Scan IP Range

Author: Luis Fernandes Updated

Overview

By default, when scanning an IP range, GFI LanGuard scans all IPs from x.x.x.1 to x.x.x.254.

This article guides you on how to configure GFI LanGuard to scan IP addresses from x.x.x.0 to x.x.x.255.

Process

  1. Identify the ID of the profile you want to use for scanning the range:
    1. Open the Operationsprofiles.mdb database.
      By default, this is located in ..\GFI\LanGuard\Data\
    2. Double-click on the Profile table to open it.
    3. In the ProfileName column locate the name of the profile that you are using.
    4. Take note of the ConfigID value for this profile.
  2. Edit the selected profile to scan an IP range of x.x.x.0 to x.x.x.255:
    1. In the Operationsprofiles.mdb database, double-click the Configuration table to open it
    2. In the ConfigID column, locate the ConfigID taken note of previously.
    3. In the same row identified in step b, locate the Scan0and255 column and set this field value from 0 to 1.
