 ## Mapping example usage
 
-The following example shows how to create a mapping to specify that OpenSearch should ignore any documents with malformed ip addresses that do not conform to the `ip_range` data type. You accomplish this by setting the `ignore_malformed` parameter to `true`.

 To create an index, use a PUT request:
 
 ```json
-PUT _index_ip
+PUT /test-index 
 {

       }
-     }
     }
