I.P Address Format

[Haider Khalil]

Hello Experts,
I need advice on removing check on I.P address Format for devices. I want to use port numbers with I.P address while Adding I.P under any device.
Is there any way to do that. Can you please point me in right direction.


Argument 'ip' of value '10.120.6.131:6028' is invalid (Invalid IP address).


Thanks,Haider

You better define new custom field and set port there.
Then you can alter code or write a plugin to merge ip and port together.

Don't touch ip table.

I don't think that's wise. Michal's suggestion of a custom field is best.
Remember also that there is no such thing as "port number". But there is
"TCP port number", and "UDP port number", as well as many other protocols'
port numbers.

Thank you for your reply.
Can I take off the check from I.P address field to 4 octets and should have "." between each octet ?
I am not much of a coder to create a custom filed and then add it to the PHP code and SQL.
Thanks,HK

Haider,

The IP field is more than just a text entry. Several other attributes and
page views key off it. DO NOT attempt to modify it the way you propose.
