Hello everybody,
A few days ago I intended a RIPE RPSL training. Now I'm writing a summary for my colleagues and there something I don't remember perfectly, it's about the as-set object.
Using an as-set object, I can either start its name with an origin as or directly put the name (ex. AS-Customers). Under which circumstance should I specify the origin AS?
You can choose to do it, if you like. The difference is: if you specify the name which starts with your AS, then you need to be able to pass the authentication of the maintainer of your AS number (aut-num object). That means that you are the only one able to create the as-set object AS12345:as-customers (if your AS number is AS12345) Otherwise, you need to find the unique name under the "as-" name-space ;-) (as-customers is taken...) ripe_ncc:becha:~ $ whois -r as-customers % This is the RIPE Database query service. % The objects are in RPSL format. % % Information related to 'AS-CUSTOMERS' as-set: AS-CUSTOMERS descr: WWWGBG and customer ASNs members: AS41136 members: AS29602 tech-c: WGS2-RIPE admin-c: WGS2-RIPE mnt-by: WWWGBG-MNT source: RIPE # Filtered
Thank you very much for your help,
