Scan a System with Host name and IP Address nmap

 

The Nmap tool offers various methods to scan a system. In this example, I am performing a scan using hostname as server2.tecmint.com to find out all open ports, services and MAC address on the system.

Scan using Hostname

[root@server1 ~]# nmap server2.tecmint.com
