Has anyone had experience with running vulnerability scans on their Avaya systems using Nessus? I'm getting ready to do vulnerability testing (after hours), and have heard that certain scan can potentially cause one of my Linux boxes to go down hard.

If I recall correctly they would occasionally lock up a CLAN or other IP board but I have not had a server go down( version 3.1.5). There are different intensity levels to a nessus scan I believe.
 
We have had a couple of nessus scans without any issue. The nessus scan did not have access to log into the system just did a port scan.
 
I've never used Nessus. Does the system just ask for a host name or IP address, and then you click "scan?" Or is there a command line where you tell it what type of scan to run? Trying to learn this :).
