To get to this page: Go to Setup > Excluded Hosts. Click Edit.
The excluded hosts list may be edited as often as necessary to meet the changing demands of your organization. For example, if you have a set of machines performing critical business tasks and you want to ensure that no traffic is sent to them, then you should add those IPs to the excluded hosts list. As soon as the business tasks are complete, you can remove them from the excluded hosts list, allowing them to once again be scanned. IPs not currently in the subscription may also be added to the excluded hosts list, ensuring that they will not be scanned even if later added to the subscription.
When adding hosts to the excluded hosts list, enter the IPs to be added, provide notes about the change you're making, and click the Add button. Similarly, when removing hosts from the excluded hosts list, enter the IPs to be removed, provide notes about the change you're making, and click the Remove button.
Enter IP addresses/ranges to be added or removed. Separate each IP or range with one of the following: comma, semi-colon, space, carriage return or tab. IPs may be entered in any of the following formats:
