IP Range Aggregation
Why Aggregation Is Needed
If you imported a list of hundreds of individual addresses or manually added many specific IPs — the scan task becomes unwieldy. For example, instead of 200 individual addresses, you can get 3–5 compact ranges.
Before aggregation:
192.168.1.1
192.168.1.2
192.168.1.3
...
192.168.1.200
After aggregation:
192.168.1.1 — 192.168.1.200
How to Use Aggregation
- Open the desired Scan Task
- Click the Aggregate IP button in the Network ranges section header
- Specify the Gap threshold — the maximum gap between addresses for merging into one range
- The system instantly shows the result — the list collapses into compact ranges
Gap Parameter
Gap determines how "aggressively" addresses are aggregated:
| Gap | Behavior |
|---|---|
| 0 | Only strictly sequential addresses without gaps are merged |
| 5 | Addresses with a gap of up to 5 are merged into one range |
| 10 | Gaps of up to 10 addresses — one range |
The larger the Gap, the larger and "wider" the ranges, but the more "empty" addresses will be included in scanning.
Undoing Aggregation
Aggregation is fully reversible. Click Unaggregate IP — the list will instantly return to its original form with all individual addresses. There are no confirmation dialogs; the operation is performed instantly.
Aggregation and de-aggregation are performed on the client — no requests are sent to the server. Changes are only applied after clicking Save in the scan task.
