#315 Custom IP Address States

[Benoit Lambert]

I would like to request a simple feature.

The ability to add custom IP address states.
At the moment their are 4 possible states:

Active
Reserved
Offline
DHCP

My goal is to add a 5th field called "Retired"; meaning the IP was used before but was recently released back into subnet for future use.

If its possible I would like to request an advanced part. From the time that the IP was set to "Retired", the admin can set a timer (we will say 6 months), and the IP will be marked back as "Free" when the timer runs out.

This is good in case the IP gets "Retired" but then someone changes their mind and it needs to be re-used for the same purpose. In this case, there should be a "Restore" button to bring back the IP into use.

Once you would select the "Retired" state, the timer would become available. Once you set the timer and hit "Edit IP", the timer would start and next time you go to edit that IP, you will see the time remaining and a button to restore the IP.

If it sounds to complex (or if people wouldn't use it), just the custom IP states would be fine.

Custom states will be available in next release, already in development repo.
You can create custom field date and update status based on this values with simple cron script.
