How do I exclude ports from a network scan?

There are various reasons why you might choose to exclude particular ports during a scan. However, it is essential to keep in mind the importance of periodically scanning even the most sensitive segments.

1. Log in to the Security Center.
2. Click on Scan Network.
3. Click on Scan Profiles. 
4. Click + Add scan profile>Vulnerability profile or edit an existing profile.
5. Click Scan Settings.
6. Under the headlines, TCP and UDP, an input field will be called “Port exclusions”.
   Type in what port you want to exclude, for example, 443, and press Enter. You will then see the excluded port added underneath the box. If you want to exclude multiple ports, type in another port and press Enter again.
7. If you are editing an existing profile, click OK.
   If you are adding a new profile, complete the rest of the scan profile.
8. Done!
