OpUtils' IP scanner tool offers flexible IP address space discovery options to import IPs to be scanned into your centralized OpUtils IP address management console.

OpUtils scans the specified IPs and updates their status in seconds. Another option is to upload the IP addresses to be scanned via a CSV or XLS file. The IP scanner then periodically scans these IPs and updates the details continually. OpUtils offers versatile solutions for network scanning on different operating systems. Whether it's Windows or Linux, OpUtils IP Scanner efficiently identifies and manages connected devices, ensuring streamlined network operations. Basically, scanning IP involves probing network devices to discover their IP addresses and assess their availability and status within the network.

Scanning and managing IP subnets
When administrators need to scan IP addresses, they typically employ specialized software to execute the process efficiently. Selecting the best IP scanner entails considering factors like accuracy, compatibility with diverse network environments, port scanning and much more. Once you’ve added routers, OpUtils' network IP scanner scans them and adds the discovered subnets to the IP address manager tool. You can also manually add the subnets by specifying the subnet address, subnet mask, and the group under which it has to be added. OpUtils’ subnet monitoring software provides subnet scanning options such as:
- Checking the IP availability using ICMP.
- Getting the device details using SNMP.
- Resolving the DNS name of the IP.
- Getting the Windows device type and hardware details using WMI.
With OpUtils IP scanner, instantly scan IP addresses across your network.
