Hi Hendra,

If a port is open and you tell Nessus to scan it, Nessus will not lose
this information. If the port is closed during a scan, becomes filtered
by a firewall or IPS, or maybe Nessus looses network connectivity with the
target you are scanning, it might incorrectly report a port closed that
is open.
