Dr.Web Server contains the Network Scanner component.
Network Scanner provides the following functions: •Scan (browse) the network for workstations. •Detect Dr.Web Agents on stations. •Install Dr.Web Agent on the detected stations as instructed by the administrator. Dr.Web Agent installation is described in detail in the Installation Manual, p. Installing Dr.Web Agent Software via Dr.Web Security Control Center. To scan (browse) the network, perform the following actions 1.Open the Network Scanner window: select the Administration item in the main menu of Dr.Web Security Control Center and in the opened window, select the Network Scanner item in the control menu. The Network Scanner window will be opened. 2.Set the Search by IP addresses, flag to search for stations in the network by specified IP addresses. In the Networks field specify networks in the following format: •with a hyphen (for example, 10.4.0.1-10.4.0.10) •separated by a comma with a whitespace (for example, 10.4.0.1-10.4.0.10, 10.4.0.35-10.4.0.90) •with a network prefix (for example, 10.4.0.0/24). 3.For Windows OS: set the Search in Active Directory flag to search for stations in the Active Directory domain. At this, specify the following parameters: •Domains—domains list in which stations are searched. Use comma to divide several domains. •Active Directory controller—Active Directory controller, e.g., dc.example.com.
4.For UNIX system-based OS: set the Search by LDAP flag to search for stations by LDAP. At this, specify the following parameters: •Domains—domains list in which stations are searched. Use comma to divide several domains. •LDAP server—LDAP server, e.g., ldap://ldap.example.com. •Login—LDAP user login. •Password—LDAP user password. 5.In the Port field, specify the port to connect via the UDP protocol to the Agents during search. 6.If necessary, in the Timeout field, change the value of timeout in seconds, which defines time limit for receiving an answer from inquired stations. 7.Set the Show station names flag to display either IP address and DNS name of found network stations. If a station is not registered at DNS server, only its IP address displays. 8.Set the Correlate with stations list from database flag to enable synchronization of Network Scanner search results with the stations list stored in the Server DB. If the flag is set, the list of found network stations contains stations from the Server DB list that are not found by the Network Scanner during current search, e.g. if a firewall installed at stations blocks the transfer of packets needed to establish a TCP connection. During synchronization of Network Scanner search results with Server DB data, the Server DB data has priority, i.e. if station statuses from search results and from DB are differ, the status from DB is set. 9.Click the Scan button to launch network scanning. 10.The catalog (hierarchical list) of computers demonstrating where Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite anti-virus software is installed will be loaded into this window. Unfold the catalog elements corresponding to workgroups (domains). All elements of the catalog corresponding to workgroups and individual stations are marked with different icons the meaning of which is given below.
You can also unfold catalog items corresponding to computers with the Interaction with Dr.Web Agent The Network Scanner tool has been included in Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite starting from version 4.44.
Dr.Web Agents 4.44 and older installed on protected stations process respective calls of Network Scanner received at a certain port. By default port udp/2193 is using, but also port udp/2372 is supported for compatibility with older versions. Correspondingly, it is the default port offered by the Scanner to call at. Network Scanner decides whether there is an Agent on the workstation based on the assumption of the possibility to exchange information with the station (request-response) through the specified port.
