+--addrport [port number or ipaddr:port]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Use ``--addrport`` to specify a different port, or IP address and port, from
+the default of 127.0.0.1:8000. The argument to the ``--addrport`` option
+follows exactly the same format and serves exactly the same function as the
+argument to the ``runserver`` subcommand.
+
+Examples:
+
+To run the test server on port 7000 with ``fixture1`` and ``fixture2``::
+
+    django-admin.py testserver --addrport 7000 fixture1 fixture2
+    
+To run on 1.2.3.4:7000 with a `test` fixture::
+
+    django-admin.py testserver --addrport 1.2.3.4:7000 test
