How to store IP Address and very large int account numbers in list? What types are best

Question

I'm making a list and need to store IP Addresses and Account Numbers.

Basically the text or single line of text variable looks best at the moment however I am wondering if anyone else knows a better way to store them in a SharePoint 2013 list.

I doubt an upgrade to IPv6 will happen, but the 16 places are necessary for the account number size(0123456890123.)

Was it helpful?

Solution

Single line of text can store 255 characters. So you will be good even in case of IPv6.

One drawback of storing interger in text field is that you will lose the out of the box ability to apply mathematical functions like SUM etc.
