<%NUMBERING1%>.<%NUMBERING2%>.<%NUMBERING3%> PRTG Manual: Define IP Ranges

In some setting fields, you can either enter a host name or single IP address, or you can define IP ranges. PRTG follows a common syntax for this. IP ranges are available, for example, for xFlow and Packet Sniffer sensors, and for probes settings.

Note: For the supported syntax of the automatic network discovery functionality in PRTG, please see section Auto-Discovery (IP Selection Method setting).
