Scanning remote networks with NMAP is possible (via the `NMAPDEV` plugin), but since it cannot retrieve the MAC address, you need to enable the `NMAPDEV_FAKE_MAC` setting. This will generate a fake MAC address based on the IP address, allowing you to track devices.
Because the generated MAC address is derived from the IP address, changing the IP can cause the device to appear as a new device or create duplicate records. If this setting is disabled, only the IP address will be discovered, and devices with missing MAC addresses will be skipped.
