PRTG Manual: Define IP Address Ranges
In some setting fields, you can either enter a host name or a single IP address, or you can define IP address ranges. These are available, for example, for Flow and Packet Sniffer sensors and for probe connection settings. PRTG follows a common syntax for IP address ranges.
For the supported syntax of the automatic network discovery feature in PRTG, see section Add an Auto-Discovery Group.
