isIP=`expr match $ip '[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+'`;

if [ $isIP -ne 0 ]; then
ip=`echo $ip| sed 's/./ /g'`
  
isValid=0;

for n in $ip ; do
if [ $n -gt 255 -o $n -lt 0 ]; then
echo "ERROR: The number of the IP should not be greater than 255 and less than 0"
   isValid=1;
break;
fi
done

if [ $isValid -eq 0 ]; then
