====== Typology ======

{{icons8-new-item-48.png }} 

Next to iTop's topology elements, TeemIp proposes different typology classes to predefine the type of a few IP objects.

Like all topology elements, these IP ones are managed through the **Typology configuration** menu of the **Data Administration** module.

===== IP Block Type =====
IP Block Types will allow administrators to define the main usage that an IP Block can have: user space, data centre space, interconnections... Name of type being defined through a free text attribute, administrators can really create what suits their needs best.

=== IP Block Type Properties ===
^  Name  ^  Type  ^  Mandatory?  ^

=== Updating an IP Block Type ===
In the **Typology configuration** menu of the **Data administration module**, under the **IP space typology configuration** chapter, click on the **IP Block Type** badge to list all IP Address Usages and select the one you'd like to edit.
