Hello All.
I am new to IVM for network devices (switches, aps, routers, etc). We are a Cisco house and wondering what is a good scan template to use?
global Template, or do you have your Network Devices in their own site and using a default template for that site?
The devices I want to scan are in their own group
Are they in a Asset Group ( AKA DAG ) or in a SITE?
If there are in a Site then you can Default your specific template to that site.
If you want to create or modify your own template just for that and it be quicker, then go to the temaplate section, COPY your default template. then under the Vulnerability section deselect or remove checks that dont make sense, like windows etc.. Keep your technology stacks in there along with the default credential checks.
also in your Asset Discovery and Service Discovery you can stream line your Ports and Services that also make sense for said network devices, this will also speed that up drastically, like
21,22,23,25,53,161,49,80,443, etc etc.. what makes sense to your devices..
