Move Assets to a Network via Settings

Required Tenable Vulnerability Management User Role: Scan Manager or Administrator

When a scanner scans assets, the scanner automatically adds the network to which it belongs to the scanned assets' identifying details. However, if you want to change the network assets are assigned to, you can also manually move assets to a network.

Move assets to a new network before you run scans on the new network. If you move assets to a network where scans have already run, Tenable Vulnerability Management may create duplicate asset records that count against your license.

Note: If you moved agents or agent groups from a custom network to the Default network, you need to move the agents' associated assets to the Default network manually. Assets do not revert back to the Default network automatically.

To move an asset or assets to a network from the Networks page:

1. In the left navigation, click Sensors.

   The Sensors page appears. By default, the Nessus Scanners tab is active and Linked Scanners is selected in the drop-down box.

2. Click the Networks tab.
