Disabling Port Scan Fallback

By default, vScope uses ping and port scanning to search IP ranges. If a device does not respond to a ping, vScope tries a few commonly used ports to check for a response. You can disable this port scan fallback to make vScope rely solely on ping responses.

Disable Port Scan Fallback

1. Stop the vScope Server service.

2. Open the configuration file:
   Navigate to C:\vScopeData\configuration\config.ini. (This file may be located on another drive, depending on your setup.)

3. Create the file if it doesn’t exist.

4. Add the following line to the config.ini file:

   discovery.scanprobe.rawping.portscan_fallback=false

5. Restart the vScope Server service.

This change will disable the port scan fallback, so vScope will only rely on ping responses during IP range discovery.
