Let's try this way:
select
a.ip,
a.os,
a.hostname,
a.port,
a.protocol,
b.state
from a
left join b
on a.ip = b.ip
and a.port = b.port /*if you has to filter by columns from right table , then add this condition in ON clause*/
where a.somecolumn = somevalue /*if you have to filter by some column from left table, then add it to where condition*/
So, in where clause you can filter result set by column from right table only on this way:
...
where b.somecolumn <> (=) null
