IP Objects
All IP Objects have now an external key toward the IP Config that corresponds to their organisation. This is to allow users to override configuration parameters, that are organization wide, when a single IP Object is created over the UI. Beware, this have an impact on object creation by csv import or collector !
IP Addresses
New menus available from Subnets, Ranges and IP addresses allow you to automatically convert the FQDN that have been discovered through a Lookup into a short name and a domain name.
The control of duplicate names offer a 3rd option next to “allow” and “disable”: “Dual stack”. With such configuration, the same name can be shared between unique IPv4 address and a unique Ipv6 one.

Value of parameters controlling the subnet creation are now recorded when subnet is registered. This insures that subnet modifications are coherent with what had been decided at creation time.
IP Addresses
When listed, IPv6 are correctly sorted. Finally !
FQDN associated to IPs consists in the concatenation of IP's short name and domain name, even if these are empty. This behaviour is controlled by a new parameter.
IP Tools
A new IP Tool called “Find Space” looks for IP space anywhere in the IPv4 or IPv6 space of an organization. It extends the feature that was available within blocks only and allows you to directly create subnet blocks or subnets.
Already used IP space is displayed when space is proposed, for a better understanding of the situation.
-

A new functional CI has been brought to TeemIp. As part of the Network group of the Configuration Management module, it allows you to document the VRFs (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) used within your organizations. For each of them, you may document:
its name, organization and provide a description
the route distinguisher and the route target
the list of subnets and physical interfaces attached to that VRF
2.0
Next to its own enhancements, TeemIp 2.0 dated 2014, April 21st relies on iTop 2.0.2 version and therefore, benefits from all new features and all bug fixes of iTop's core modules.
The way IPs can be attached to CIs have been fully reviewed and enhanced. From now on:
IPs / CIs linkage
IPs may be attached to IP Interfaces, Virtual Machines (VMs) or Datacenter Devices (DDs).
IPs don't have any external key to CIs that may host IPs
A new tab is listing the CIs that an IP is attached to.
Attachement of an IP to a CI is done from the CI creation or modification menus.
The same IP can be attached to multiple IP Interfaces (case of an HSRP IP)
An IP Interface can be attached to multiple IPs
VMs and DDs are pointing to 1 IP at the most
A new status has been created: unassigned
IP status is automatically managed.
IPv6 capability
The main noticeable feature that has been included within the 2.0-beta version is certainly the IPv6 capabilities: IPv6 blocks, IPv6 subnets, IPv6 ranges and IPv6 addresses can now be created and managed within TeemIp.
The same functions that were available to manage IPv4 space are available as well to manage IPv6 space:
split, shrink, expand blocks (note that, in IPv6, subnets have a set size of /64 that cannot be changed).
list & pick IPs, find space and export contents.
IP attributes of CMDB objects (like the management IP of Network Devices) can point to both IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
IP Management
Minimum size of subnet blocks can be defined by administrator.
A subnet calculator has been integrated to the tool. It is available from the subnet (v4 or v6) menus.
Subnets can be attached to the new VLAN objects that are now part of iTop CMDB.
Subnets become and attribute of IP addresses
Gateway IP with predefined setup (IP subnet + 1, broadcast IP - 1, free allocation) is a new attribute of subnets.
Typology for IP ranges exists next to typology for IP addresses.
IP typologies have been grouped in the Data administration module, under Typology configuration.
Default IP setups have been moved into the Data adminstration module too.
Fully qualified domain names registered with IPs are relying on the new
DNS domains objects.
MAC addresses are not attributes of IP addresses anymore but attributes of IP interfaces only.
A module dedicated to network management has been added. It contains objects that were already present in iTop 2.0.1 (IP interfaces) or in latest iTop 2.0.2 version (VLANs) as well as new objects;
Portal
TeemIp portal supports IPv6 objects: IP addresses and subnets, IPv4 or IPv6, can now be managed through that interface.
Portal look and feel has been improved, in alignement to what has been done on iTop's portal.
Users can provide a comment when closing their request.
Helpdesk
Features of Helpdesk and Change Management modules of TeemIp 1.0.1 have been merged into a single HelpDesk module. Goal of that modification is to simplify the management of the user requests made through the portal.
Automatic creation of IPs and subnets is still available
Both IPv6 and IPv4 address or subnets can be managed through the helpdesk.
A new parameter can be used to offset the creation of IPs within a subnet.
IPv4 and IPv6 offsets can be different.
Resolved request can now be reopen
Data Model
TeemIp 2.0 data model has been significantly changed compared to TeemIp 1.x branch. In 1.x, IPv4 classes (addresse, ranges…) where all deriving from the same generic IPv4Object class. In 2.0, v4 and v6 class of a same type (like IPv4Subnet and IPv6Subnet) derive from a generic type class (IPSubnet) who all derive from the top level IPObject class.
1.0.1
Next to its own enhancements, TeemIp 1.0.1 dated 2013, July 29th relies on iTop and therefore, benefits from all new features and all bug fixes of iTop's core modules.
Miscellaneous fixes
Corrects a bug related to the usage of a function that is not supported by the core of the product anymore (DBUpdateTracked_Internal)
Modifies the way subnet gateways are calculated. These can, now, be the 1st IP of the subnet, the before last IP of the subnet (before the broadcast IP) or freely defined by the user.
Defines the minimum size of subnet blocks to 8 IPs. IPv4 space becoming a scarce resource, registrars do allocate now very small chunk of IPv4 as small as 8 IPs.
Implements all new bug corrections and features embedded within iTop 2.0.1.
