Ping settings are a subset of vulnerability
scan settings. For details about vulnerability scan settings, see Vulnerability Scan Methods.
Procedure
To specify ping settings from Vulnerability Scanner
(TMVS.exe):
Launch TMVS.exe.
Click Settings.
The Settings screen appears.
Go to the Ping settings section.
Select Allow Vulnerability Scanner to ping
computers on your network to check their status.
In the Packet size and Timeout fields,
accept or modify the default values.
Select Detect the type of operating system
using ICMP OS fingerprinting.
If you select this option, Vulnerability Scanner determines
if a host machine runs Windows or another operating system. For
host machines running Windows, Vulnerability Scanner can identify
the version of Windows.
Click OK.
The Settings screen closes.
To set the number of computers that Vulnerability Scanner
simultaneously pings:
Navigate to <Server installation folder>\PCCSRV\Admin\Utility\TMVS and
open TMVS.ini using a text editor such as Notepad.
Change the value for EchoNum. Specify
a value between 1 and 64.
For example, type EchoNum=60 if
you want Vulnerability Scanner to ping 60 computers at the same
time.
