Same IP address with multiple port numbers

Hi Team,

We need to configure the field network devices in Nagios which are communicating through wireless SIM IP addresses with multiple port numbers.

A single Wireless 4G modem connected with multiple devices physically. And, all the devices use the same SIM IP address to communicate with the central systems but a different port number.

Can you suggest any plugins on this?

I have seen plugins for multiple hosts with the same port. but this is in reverse.

Do you have any method to make the end devices run/send the checks to the XI server ala passive checks/NCPA agent sending passives instead of the XI server reaching out? That way only the hostname/servicename would be required to match for XI to process the results.
