Scan IP addresses in Fortigate

Hello,

 

Is there a way to put scan network segments in fortigate?

Example: I want to scan the segment 192.168.1.1/24 and know of the 254 ips which are in use?

Hello jcvm,

 

you cannot scan from the FortiGate. If the FortiGate is directly connected to the network, you would be able to check the arp table to see which client was connected in the past 5 minutes or likely still is.

get sys arp

 

Best regards,

Hello jcvm,

 

Also, just to add what Markus suggested, you can also use device detection on FortiGate which will actively and passively scan for the network devices. But, this will only be possible for directly connected networks and not for remote networks.
