Discoverability options in scan templates come in two flavors, and each flavor exposes a distinct set of controls. Basic Network Scan provides a streamlined, quicker set of discovery options focused on essential host detection, while Advanced Network Scan unlocks additional, more granular discovery probes and parameters. Because each template targets different levels of control, there are options that only appear in Basic and options that only appear in Advanced, along with some options that are common to both. This means neither template is simply a superset of the other, and the true statement is that both have unique options not present in the other. In practice, you’d choose Basic for faster, simpler discovery and Advanced when you need deeper, more customized discovery behavior.
