Adding device IPs rather than hostnames
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5aae3ac9961776e45a224847f8a80a2b.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Is it possible to allow an IP for a device to be entered in to the Add Device screen rather than requiring a hostname?

This probably works fine via the CLI tools, whereas adding devices via the web UI probably doesn't work at all.
Except where the opposite might be the case!

We dont add DNS entries for all our devices so it would be good to be able to add IP address and a manual hostname, perhaps with a tickbox to say "dont bother doing a lookup".
Doesn't work from the command line either.

And what about IPv6 ?
At the beginning I also thought of a bad choice after two years I would not modified
Use DNS normally at now, new devices for example Cisco SB switches support HTTPS, i can upload Certificate and managing securely.
