Hi Paul, it is just an external scan in same subnet.  Those appliances have 
embedded OS (linux kernel) but no firewall.  Thanks.  -Artie

Are you trying to do a credentialed scan or simply an external scan?  Do these 
appliances have an OS and firewall?

Subject: [Openvas-discuss] OpenVAS 7 on VM is working on HTTP/HTTPS/Telnet/SSH 
ports?

Hello experts,

Please help... I am a beginner of OpenVAS.   I like OpenVAS design and its 
architecture very much, but I am stuck by my trial experience at this point.

Recently I installed  OpenVAS 7 on a CentOS 6.6 VM and scanned some appliance 
products of my company in same subnet that have HTTP/HTTPS/SSH/Telnet/Ping/SNMP 
services open on the mgmt. IP.  Although scan progress looked normal till done 
status, somehow scan results are always empty with various targets/port lists, 
and scan config.  The OS is not even detected.   Using task wizard didn't help. 
 Meanwhile I used other 3rd party scan tools (e,g Qualys) and found some 
vulnerabilities detected and reported, but I don't want to give up OpenVAS.

I ran openvas-check-setup  -v7 without any errors before I used OpenVAS.  I 
wonder if I missed any configurations that are critical to the scan engines.   
Can someone hint me where to start diagnose to ensure the scan is properly 
configured to function?

Thanks in advance.
Artie
