Recently, nmap fails to return hosts on my network

Recently, I am unable to use nmap to scan my LAN.

# nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24 

Starting Nmap 7.40 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2017-06-11 10:20 EDT
Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (0 hosts up) scanned in 206.27 seconds

In the past, this would have listed out all the nodes on the network.  I have DHCP configured for the onboard NIC via systemd-networkd.  When I boot from the liveCD I get the expected results so I believe I have something misconfigured...

EDIT: should have included:

% cat /etc/systemd/network/wired.network 
[Match]
Name=enp2s0

[Network]
DHCP=both

Re: Recently, nmap fails to return hosts on my network

Can you ping or otherwise communicate with other hosts?

Yes, it is just the nmap command that fails.

Try -sn instead of -sP.

Re: Recently, nmap fails to return hosts on my network

Try -sn instead of -sP.

I get the same result using -sn as I did with -Sp:

% sudo nmap -sn 10.8.10.0/24

Re: Recently, nmap fails to return hosts on my network

As a sanity check ,what are the output of ip addr
?

Edit:  Are you trying to fight namp at the same time you are fighting your VPN configuration issues on your other thread?  Mayhaps you are trying to scan through a VPN rather than locally.

Re: Recently, nmap fails to return hosts on my network

@wealler - No, this issue is 100% unrelated to my other thread.

The answer to your question:

: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel master br0 state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 43:1a:5b:9e:e7:a1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000

Re: Recently, nmap fails to return hosts on my network

I am afraid you are as sane as I am

Edit:   .... but I note that your 10.0.10.x/24 network is on br0.  Where does that bridge go?

Re: Recently, nmap fails to return hosts on my network

nmap -sP -e br0 10.8.10.0/24

Hey, it's totally unfair to edit your post while i'm reading the rest of the thread ;-P
