Scanning and Host Management : Discovery Scans : Common Discovery Scan Tasks : Defining Nmap Arguments

Defining Nmap Arguments
The discovery scan runs with the following Nmap options turned on: -sS -T5 -PP -PE -PM -PI -PA. If you want to overwrite the default options or add scan options, you can define a list of Nmap command line options. The options that you define take precedence over any internal, default setting. For example, you can add Nmap options to perform custom scanning techniques and modify scan speeds.
