# Configuration Fields for Target Categories and Probe Types

Understand the configuration fields that define each agentless discovery target type. Identify which fields appear dynamically for different target category and probe types in the Configure Scan Target Details page so that you can configure discovery targets accurately.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: Lightning Experience</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>Enterprise</strong>, <strong>Performance</strong>, and <strong>Unlimited</strong> Editions with Agentforce IT Service that have Discovery enabled.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Network Scans

Perform deep host scans of physical and virtual hosts across various operating systems and networking devices. The available probe types are deep host scan (WMIC, SSH, SNMP) and deep host scan (SSH, SNMP, PowerShell).

## Prescan and Utilities

**Host Ping**

 
| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Included IP Range | Included IP Range IP addresses or subnets used to test network reachability before running full scans. |
| Excluded IP Range | IP addresses or subnets excluded from prescan validation. |

![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-service-it_service-264-0-0-production-enus/0a574a10-4c7a-4681-aacf-0767f8beaad4/images/icon_important.png)

Important For IP ranges, you can add up to 1024 IPs per scan. Enter individual IPs, IP ranges, or subnets in CIDR format. See the following examples:

- 192.168.1.1 (single IP)
- 192.168.1.4,192.168.2.4 (comma-separated IPs)
- 192.168.1.4-5,9 (IP range in same subnet)
- 192.168.4.0/22 (single subnet)
- 192.168.0.0/23 192.168.1.1 (mix of subnet and IP)
