Comment (by jeremyfelt):

 I've reopened this ticket since it was one of the first closed as a
 duplicate of #15936, which we've now closed as a separate area of focus.
 See also #42993, which can be considered a duplicate of this ticket. I've
 also attached the latest patch from #15936, [attachment:"15936.5.diff"],
 which handles some port number changes and some unnecessary IPv6 changes.

 A few things to watch for / decide on:

 * Is it enough to just support port numbers in the multisite bootstrap or
 should the UI fully support them as well? Things may
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15936#comment:44 seem a little
 strange] at first.
 * [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15936#comment:45 Should all port
 numbers be allowed] or should there be a filtered list?

 The best place to test this now may be in the default WordPress local
 development environment, which uses `localhost:8889` as its address and
 requires a port number.
