  3. Overview • Basic RIPE Database Issues • querying DB • creating person object • Initial Administrivia • terminology • setting-up an LIR • first allocation • Assigning Address Space • communication with hostmasters • completing the request form • Evaluation of Requests • Registering Address Space • managing your allocation • Assignment Windows • Reverse Delegation • PI Request • AS Numbers

  4. Basic RIPE Database Issues Description DB query Creating contact info objects More info: http://www.ripe.net/db/

  5. RIPE Whois Database Intro • Public Network Management Database • Software • Ripe NCC • Requirements by RIPE community • Data • LIRs, End Users, RIPE NCC • Not responsibility of RIPE NCC

  6. Object Types • Information about: objects: IP address space . . . . . . . . . . . inetnum, inet6num Reverse domains. . . . . . . . . . . . domain Routing policies . . . . . . . . . . . . . route, aut-num, etc Contact details . . . . . . . . . . . . . person, role, Data protection . . . . . . . . . . . . . mntner, irt • Documents: • RIPE NCC Database Reference Manual(ripe-252) • RIPE NCC DB User Manual: Getting Started (ripe-253)

  7. Basic Queries • Whois (client, web interface) • whois -h whois.ripe.net • http://www.ripe.net/perl/whois • Searches only look-up keys • Look-up keys - usually object name • Glimpse - full text search http://www.ripe.net/db/whois-free.html Examples

  8. Creating a Person Object • Only one object per person • Fill out a template • whois -t person • whois -v person (verbose) • Send to <auto-dbm@ripe.net> (“robot”) OR Webupdates: http://www.ripe.net/webupdates Example New!

  9. whois -t person attributes person: [mandatory] [single] [lookup key] address: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] phone: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] fax-no: [optional] [multiple] [ ] e-mail: [optional] [multiple] [lookup key] nic-hdl: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] person: [mandatory] [single] [lookup key] address: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] phone: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] fax-no: [optional] [multiple] [ ] e-mail: [optional] [multiple] [lookup key] nic-hdl: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] person: [mandatory] [single] [lookup key] address: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] phone: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] fax-no: [optional] [multiple] [ ] e-mail: [optional] [multiple] [lookup key] nic-hdl: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] *

  10. nic-hdl • Unique identifier for person and role objects • Format: <initials>[number]-<database> • e.g. JFK11-RIPE • Use “AUTO-<number>” placeholders to generate new nic-handle person: Piet Bakker ... nic-hdl: AUTO-1 PB1234-RIPE role: Technical BlueLight Staff ... nic-hdl: AUTO-#initials AUTO-2BL BL112-RIPE

  11. Database Robot Responses<auto-dbm@ripe.net> • Successful update • Errors • object NOT accepted • If unclear, send questions to <ripe-dbm@ripe.net> • include error report and original message • ticketised New!

  12. Questions? • <ripe-dbm@ripe.net> problems with the DB robot (auto-) • <db-help@ripe.net> basic questions (mailing list) Diag C

  13. Initial Administrivia Terminology How to set-up an LIR First allocation and assignments

  14. Terminology • Allocation • address space set apart, for LIR’s future use (LIR+ customers) • status: ALLOCATED PA • Assignment • address space in use in networks (End User or LIR’s infrastructure) • status: ASSIGNED PA • AW* • maximum nr of addresses an LIR can assign without RIPE NCC’s approval /20 allocation = 4096 addresses assignment assignment

  15. Classless Addressing • Classful: 3 fixed network sizes: A, B, C • Problem: waste of addresses, routing • Solution: Classless Inter Domain routing (CIDR)  flexible allocation / assignment sizes! hierarchical distribution  • Always make classless assignments! • “/23 & /25” or /27 etc…. not always /24 !!!

  16. ARIN RIPE NCC APNIC LIR IP Address Distribution IANA / ICANN /8 /8 LACNIC …, /16, …, /20 Enter-prise LIR LIR ISP …, /19, …, /24, …, /29 End User End User End User Internet Registry Goals: AGGREGATION routing! CONSERVATION no stockpiling! REGISTRATION uniqueness / troubleshooting

  17. How to Set-up an LIR • Complete application form & send to <new-lir@ripe.net> • provide Reg-ID & contact persons • Do you qualify for the address space? • if not, still can receive other member services • Confirm to have read relevant RIPE documents • ripe-234 etc • Sign contract - “Service agreement” • Pay the sign-up & yearly fee • billing@ripe.net New LIRs get 2 free vouchers for RIPE Meetings New! New!

  18. First Allocation New! • To qualify for the first allocation, LIR • must already be using at least a /22 • or must show immediate need of at least /22 • Steps: • complete “IP Address Request Form(s)” for (multiple) assignment(s) (ripe-219) • send to <hostmaster@ripe.net> • RIPE NCC evaluates and approves request(s) • complete IPv4 First Allocation Request Form (ripe-235) • send to <hostmaster@ripe.net> • Default minimum allocation size /20 (4096 addresses) • LIR must renumber address space in use, if it’s =< /22 New!

  19. After the First Allocation Approval • inetnum objects in the RIPE Database: • RIPE NCC hostmaster creates allocation • LIR staff creates assignment(s) • Whole allocation can be announced immediately • LIR can create route object for the whole allocation • AW=0 -- every subsequent assignment must be approved by the RIPE NCC

  20. Examples of inetnum Objects Mandatory protection by the RIPE-NCC inetnum: 80.35.64.0 - 80.35.79.255 netname: NL-BLUELIGHT-20000909 descr: Provider Local Registry ... status: ALLOCATED PA mnt-by: RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT mnt-lower: BLUELIGHT-MNT mnt-routes: BLUELIGHT-MNT ... Mandatory hierarchical authorisation using LIR-MNTNER (hostmaster will create one) inetnum: 80.35.64.0 - 80.35.67.255 netname: BLUELIGHT descr: Infrastructure ... status: ASSIGNED PA mnt-by: BLUELIGHT-MNT mnt-lower: BLUELIGHT-MNT mnt-routes: BLUELIGHT-MNT ... Mandatory protection by the LIR-MNTNER Recommended hierarchical authorisation

  21. Questions?

  22. Assigning Address Space • Assignment Process • Terminology • Communication with the hostmaster • Request form

  23. LIR Evaluates Request Assignment Process, AW=0 End User yes (*) request > AW? no yes Approach RIPE NCC need 2nd opinion? no RIPE NCC evaluates & approves LIR Chooses Addresses LIR Updates Local Records LIR Updates RIPE Database

  24. Communication Process IP Request Form Address: <hostmaster@ripe.net> LIR Always include: - Reg-ID - your name - (ticket nr) Re-send using the same ticket number robot errors? yes no Ticket Queue } LIR human hm Re-send using the same ticket number * Evaluation questions? yes no approval

  25. Registry Identification (Reg-ID) • Distinguishes between LIRs • eg: nl.bluelight • Include in every message to RIPE NCC • Suggestion - modify mail header: • X-NCC-RegID: nl.bluelight

  26. LIR Contact Persons • RIPE NCC internal “reg” file for each registry • confidential • only contact persons can • send requests • change contact info • To updatecontact info:  “LIR Portal” • createperson objects in RIPE DB • “reg” file not updated from RIPE DB! • Members’ mailing lists <local-ir@ripe.net> (lst-localir) ; <ncc-co@ripe.net> (lst-contrib)

  27. LIR Portal New! • Secured web access to private RIPE NCC registry data • https://lirportal.ripe.net/ • Viewing and editing LIR info and resources: • (contact, billing + online payment, IP allocations and assignments, AS, status of tickets) • Activate account • Create user accounts with different privileges • These user accounts are not ‘LIR contact persons’ ! • create “LIR contact persons” in General Menu (from user account) • feedback ? mailing list: <lirportal-feedback@ripe.net> Example

  28. Ticketing System • Unique ticket nr per request • NCC#YYYYMMnnnn • Include it in every message about the request • do not create duplicate tickets! • Check status on web: open-ncc,open-reg, closed • http://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/rttquery orLIR Portal Example

  29. Hostmaster-robot • Replies with: • Acknowledgement, • Warnings, • Error msg. • Errors: • request NOT in ‘Ticket Queue’ • Keywords in ‘Subject’: • LONGACK • NOAUTO

  30. When to Send a Request • If request size bigger than AW • Separate request forms for: • each End User network • LIR’s own infrastructure • can be in a single request: • LIR’s own network • blocks of IPs for server housing and web hosting • blocks of IPs for connection to End Users

  31. How to Get it Right the First Time • Before sending: • FAQ: • http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/faq/ • Short tips and tricks • http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/tips/tips.html • IPv4 Address Assignment and Allocation Policies (ripe-234) • RIPE-219:http://www.ripe.net/docs/iprequestform.html(ex ripe-141) • Web form (example) • fill in request • syntax check

  32. General Information • Example of the completed form • For the small ISP Laika, customer of the LIR Bluelight #[Overview of Organisation Template]# • which needs the IP addresses • name and location? • activities? • structure? • subsidiaries and where? • addresses for which part of the company? • #[Requester template]# • LIR contact for RIPE NCC • #[User template]# • Customer’s contact for LIR

  37. Questions?

  38. Evaluation of Request

  39. Evaluation -- Current Usage • All previous assignments listed ? • From other LIRs? • Query the RIPE DB • use “Glimpse” • Returning address?

  40. Evaluation -- Addressing Plan • Subnet description • All subnets classless? • network can be several CIDR blocks • Utilisation: 25% immediately, 50% in one year • Time frame: • other forecast periods can be used

  41. Evaluation Policies • Policy document: ripe-234 • dynamic dial-up! not static • name-based virtual web hosting! not IP-based • exceptions (SSL, ftp&mail servers..) • special verification methods for more than /20: also for xDSL, cable, GPRS… • DHCP recommended

  42. Motivation for ‘No Reservations’ Policy • Def.: Address space set aside for future use • Internal reservations • space between two assignments within allocation. • Requested reservations • zeros in “Addressing Plan” • RIPE NCC refuses ‘requested reservations’ • 2-year network growth planning sufficient

  43. Renumbering Request • Customer changing providers • returning PA space to old LIR • replacing PI space with PA • Mention explicitly: ‘renumbering request’ • in “Current Usage” or “Overview of Org.” • “Request Overview Template” address-space-returned: 195.42.0.0/25 to ISP-A 20020923 • “return” lines in reg file

  44. Possible Additional Information • Pointer to web site • company • unusual hw / sw • Deployment plan • receipts • Network topology map • Fax or mail info (+3120-5354445) • handled confidentially • include ticket nr, reg-id, hostmaster’s name

  45.

  46. Approval • Approval message sent to LIR • size • (e.g. 400 IPs = /24, /25 & /28) • netname • date • ticket closed • LIRs archives approval message • plus all original documents

  47. Questions?

  48. Registering Address Spacein the RIPE Database How to create network object Managing LIR’s allocation

  49. Why Register? • Last and important step in the assignment process • contact info • overview • uniqueness • Address space in use only if it’s in RIPE DB • or else delays in : new allocation, reverse del, AW raise, audit… • Responsibility of the LIR

  50. Creating Network (inetnum) Objects • “Network template”: • from the approved request • fill in the address range • or: whois -t inetnum • ‘inetnum’ value in ‘dash’ notation! • e.g. 80.35.64.32 - 80.35.64.63 (include 2 ‘spaces’!) • Send to <auto-dbm@ripe.net> • with the (only) keyword NEW in ‘subject’ • to avoid over-writing existing objects • OR:“Webupdates” • Has to pass hierarchical authentication
