F5 Internal IPs Nessus Scans
So if allowed in settings then the scan should be allowed and will scan correct? Should the setting be changed after each scan for security reasons?
Technically yes
But why mgmt interface isn't enough?

We think when it scans MGMT the results are double Vulnerabilities. Just to verify also - is the mgmt IP the one on top left when you log into GUI? the internal IP the one which might start with HA_etc...?

The naming may or may not means something.
Mgmt IP can be found under system-platform
Tmm ips are under network-ip. If traffic group is local means that IP is used only in this device, if not it means this is a shared IP used by active node.
What you mean double vurlenabilities?

I just can guess: He is scanning a network range where the virtual ips sitting and the mgmt-ip. He is scanning the self-ip and has port-knockdown not disabled. So nexuss is listening the same problems on the mgmt ip and self ip.
BUT ... I dont understand how he is asking for his management IP when he must be logged in already to the gui. So he does not know what "mgmt ip" means or is ... but is administrating nexus and bigip ...
times are wild
