You are free to scan any IP addresses you want without limitation. You can split up subnets to customize their behavior individually. For example, you can choose when specific subnets are scanned, or what devices you want to ignore. You can also configure IP ranges that you’re looking to discover and specify a separate scanning schedule for each range. At the scheduled times, IP address range scanning adds the submitted ranges to your scanning queue. Thanks to the variety of configurable settings, customizable scanning requests are easy to set up.
Lansweeper’s advanced IP scanner is the perfect utility for clever network admins. Benefit from valuable data to optimize your IT environment and improve your network management. An extensive range of information and details are to be found in the Lansweeper web console for up to 100 devices in the free version. Detect internal IP addresses and hardware MAC addresses.

Keeping track of every IT asset is a difficult undertaking, especially when you haven’t discovered every asset on your network first. And installing a scanning agent on every device is too time-consuming. You don’t experience that problem with the Lansweeper advanced IP scanner, as it works with various agentless scanning methods, meaning you don’t need to download it on every device.
Lansweeper values the security and confidentiality of your data and credentials. Everything is encrypted before it is added to your Lansweeper database and the database itself is also protected with a password that is automatically randomized to prevent unauthorized access. But passwords on devices can also slow the scanning process. Avoid having to manually input credentials into secured devices with the Credential-free Device Recognition of Lansweeper
Our Passive Scanner, named Asset Radar, helps you to track and identify new assets the moment they are connected to your network. It is also IP range independent, which means you don’t need to configure an IP range and start a new scan in order to detect these new devices. The Asset Radar does that for you automatically and instantly, regardless of whether or not the device appears in a previously defined range. This allows for real-time IT management and swift action. It is a feature that is particularly useful to identify unknown or rogue devices or to future-proof your network for new trends like BYOD.

It is a strong, no-cost alternative to a typical advanced IP scanner download, and it shares the same discovery technology used in the full Lansweeper Cyber Asset Intelligence Platform.
