Thanks. > It depends on what you are trying to accomplish: - If you feel each IP address has the same services and security (firewall rules) then scan just one IP. - If you want to perform a full audit of the box, do a credentialed patch audit. - If different IPs have different services on them (i.e., a web server with multiple virtual IPs) you would likely want to audit each IP. - If each IP is on a different LAN/DMZ/network and offering different services to different networks, you may not only need to scan each IP, but scan each IP from the correct local segment. For example, you may have a machine with a NIC in the DMZ and one on the corporate LAN. Scanning the DMZ IP from the corporate LAN might have firewall rules that prevent a full audit.
