ReView Home Page

The Home page is the initial page displayed while in ReView. Here, prompts will be displayed to set up initial configuration and discovery steps to start using the scanning tool.

Follow the provided links to start discovering your network inventory.

Getting Started

When you first open ReView, take a look at the tips and links available on the Home page. If desired, open settings to customize your appearance to light mode, dark mode, or system-based.

When you are ready to start scanning, we recommend proceeding in the following order:

  • The best place to start is using the RIR Scan on the Discovery tab. Enter an IP (or use the default public IP found), click “scan”, and it and will query ARIN, RIPE, APNIC, LACNIC, and AFRINIC for officially allocated IP resources.

  • Next, identify sub-blocks and hosts by supplying Router Configs or DNS Zones, or by scanning ARP tables or scanning DHCP leases files. Additional options under Discovery include items such as Firewalls, Load Balancers, SNMP, SSDP, and even a “Generic Config” option for other non-supported devices.

    • Data may be provided either by uploading config files (Note: Must be either .zip or .tar files) or by pasting the configuration text.

    • If neighboring devices are encountered during an SNMP, SSH, Config, or Ping scan, they are added to the To-Do list and flagged for later user review and scanning to complete network segments.

  • During discovery scanning, found netblocks, ips and sources will be added to the Inventory page for review.

    • You may manually add additional blocks, update or change block status, ignore blocks, or add sources from this area.

  • After discovery scans and any necessary inventory review is complete, proceed to the Analyze tab. The tab will display an estimated value of your public IP space based on the current inventory. It can be used to identify areas where your network can be made more efficient.

    • If any change occurs in the data, click on "Reinitialize" to refresh the analysis.

  • The Planning tab continues where the Analyze tab leaves off, implementing an advanced sorting / packing algorithm to determine the steps necessary to free up as much contiguous space as possible. It then shows the additional potential value that may be achievable if the recommended steps are followed.

  • If desired, you may navigate to the Export tab to prepare a report on the state of your network and email it to both you and to Hilco.

Next Steps:

Continue on to the Discovery section for information on scanning your network.
