scanning open ports on remote IP address 

nc -zv 192.168.3.34 2>&1 1-1024 | grep -v refused

this scans open ports in the range of 1 to 1024 on the above IP address.
redirects the error output to standard outoput and matches all lines except refused

scanning all open ports on the subnet using nmap
