Create Rogues from DHCP packets |
When enabled, rogues will be created from information learned from DHCP packets heard on the network. It helps to quickly learn about hosts communicating on the network, but in some network environments it can add a large number of rogues hosts from unmanaged areas of the network. Default = true |
Perform Active (NMAP) profiling without ICMP ping |
When enabled, Active NMAP scans will not perform a ICMP ping of the host prior to initiating the NMAP scan. This allows networks where ICMP is blocked to still do NMAP scanning. This is disabled by default as it could be a considerable performance drain scanning a large number of uncontactable hosts. Default = false |
