Open Port Scanner
Gain a complete picture of your network by using a port scanner
Use an open port scanner to understand network configurations
Advanced port checkers can help provide insights into how your devices are configured. SolarWinds® Engineer's Toolset™ (ETS) is designed to help you more easily understand whether your network and ports are using appropriate settings.
Using ETS, you can run scans to gain insight into how routers, hubs switches, and other devices are configured by analyzing SNMP queries and viewing MIB attributes. ETS also uses threading and adaptive timing to help shorten scan run times. You can even save scan configurations to quickly recall them later.
Leverage an open port checker to gain a useful list of port statuses
Use SolarWinds ETS open port checker tools to gain a list of open, closed, and filtered ports across your IP addresses. You can also sweep IP ranges and identify devices and TCP and UDP services. This can help you see which devices are connected to your network and what services are accessible.
With an open port checker, you can gain visibility into port statuses then easily export and report on the results. The dashboard in ETS can provide visibility into and help you more easily manage configurations for network routers and switches.
Test open ports for visibility into usability and security
It’s important to test open ports to ensure they can be used by applications—and they’re not posing a security risk.
SolarWinds ETS offers open port scanner capabilities using SNMP MIB browser, which is designed to give you insight into the network by enabling you to query SNMP-managed devices. You can also use the Neighbor Map and Route Viewer tools in ETS for a visible overview of how your network is routing.
Ensure you have a tool for security-related open ports scanning use cases
For port scanning, addressing the risks posed by open ports is a common use case. Visibility into your network’s organization and usage can help you more quickly troubleshoot risks to better protect your infrastructure.
With Engineer’s Toolset open port scanner software, you can discover your network components, map switch ports, and gain optimal visibility into endpoint devices. If open ports exist, you’ll have the data to help ensure they remain secure.
Gain more complete network recon
ETS has a Network Sonar tool that can inventory your network and ports, including SNMP-managed devices. You can also use the MAC Address Scanner, DHCP Scope Monitor, and DNS Analyzer tools in SolarWinds ETS to better understand how IP addresses are being assigned and resolved. Additionally, the Switch Port Mapper in ETS can show you what devices (hostname, IP, and MAC address) are connected to your switches.

Do you find yourself asking…
A port is a communication endpoint where information is sent and received. Ports are part of how computers can connect to networks. Webpages rely on ports to be accessible to clients. Ports vary in their protocols and the types of services they offer. The most common protocols for ports are transmission control protocol (TCP) and user datagram protocol (UDP).
