Ports that have been added as Ignore ports will not be considered for alerts.
If any ignored port has been added and it contains vulnerabilities, those vulnerabilities will contribute to the calculated risk score and will not be ignored.
The ports 22, 80, and 443 as added as default ignored ports. While calculating the risk score these ports will be ignored. And also they will no longer generate open port alerts for these specific ports.
If the IP has been discovered with four open ports if we add all four discovered ports as ignored ports added as 443,80, 20, and 8080 contributes to the calculated risk score will be low.
If four ports are discovered if the two ports are ignored the risk score will remain the same, if we add all the discovered ports contributes to the calculated risk score will be low.
