Re: PI blocks & AS numbers

Dear Dmitry Dmitrienko, It is not necessary to request an autonomous system (AS) number for a PI assignment. An AS number is only required if the network is going to be multi-homed with its own unique routing policy. If you do require a AS number for this network because it will be multi-homed with its own unique routing policy then you should correctly and completely fill out the form found here: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/asnrequestform.html For more information on AS number policy see this document: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/asn-assignment.html Best Regards, -- Timothy Lowe RIPE NCC Staff X-Organization: RIPE Network Coordination Centre X-Phone: +31 20 535 4444 X-Fax: +31 20 535 4445 > Good day, colleagues! > My name is Dmitry (DD4440-RIPE) from OJSC COMBELLGA, ISP , Russia. > It's for the first time to registrate PI block for our customer.

x-ncc-regid: ru.combellga Good day, colleagues! My name is Dmitry (DD4440-RIPE) from OJSC COMBELLGA, ISP , Russia. It's for the first time to registrate PI block for our customer. And we need some assistance. As we know we have to registrate sepatare AS number for a PI block because this block could be have an independed routing rule. Is it right? Can you explain us which steps should we make for succeed the aim. Which RIPE forms cloud be used? Which documantation cloud be read?

12 Sep '03

hi all, I´ve got a problem setting up the whois db server from your ftp server. I tried to install it in 3 versions (3.2.0, 3.1.1, 3.1.0). I followed exactly the instructions in the INSTALL files. All of them showed me the same error when I wanted to start whois_rip: Configuration [/usr/local/whoisd/conf/rip.config]: /usr/local/whoisd/log/riperr/riperrlog Segmentation fault What happened? Did I make any mistake? regards Andreas

Where can I find up-to-date documentation of the semantics of this value? The proposals in the ERX document don't match the actual practice (IMHO), so I wonder if there are different guidelines.
