- Administrative tasks, such as an internal port scan or security scan

- Attacks that occur on your network, such as a Denial of Service attack

To reduce or eliminate any adverse effects to the devices, schedule administrative network tasks during a time when the devices are not being used or exclude the devices from testing.
