Good afternoon!
At my work I'm having an interesting issue. I am trying to map out ip space in certain areas of my network through firewalls and determine what IPs are active and not. The issue I am running into is that when I run NMAP or just a regular ping sweep I get a response no matter if there is a device on that IP or not.
Any ideas as to why this is? Is there a config in the firewall that could cause the firewall to respond to any port or ICMP sweep and act as the nonexistent device?
Thanks!

If the firewall has a static NAT rule it will respond to a ping on behalf of the true device IP.

There are no static NAT rules currently in the device.
