RIPE-181 to RPSL Migration; Phase 2.
by db-news＠ripe.net 20 Jun '01

20 Jun '01

Dear Colleagues, (Apologies for multiple messages). On and from Monday, 14th May, 2001, <auto-dbm(a)ripe.net> shall only accept updates in RPSL format; updates in RIPE-181 format will no longer be accepted. Updates in RIPE-181 format can be sent to <auto-181(a)ripe.net>, where they will be automatically converted to RPSL format. <auto-rpsl(a)ripe.net> will continue to accept updates in RPSL format. The update path for the TEST database will also be changed. In summary, from 14th May, 2001: =============================== RIPE Database: ------------- <auto-dbm(a)ripe.net> - updates in RPSL format only <auto-rpsl(a)ripe.net> - updates in RPSL format only <auto-181(a)ripe.net> - updates in RIPE-181 format, automatically converted to RPS L format TEST Database: ------------- <test-dbm(a)ripe.net> - updates in RPSL format only <test-rpsl(a)ripe.net> - updates in RPSL format only <test-181(a)ripe.net> - updates in RIPE-181 format, automatically converted to RPS L format On Monday, 14th May, 2001, we cannot guarantee that an update message sent to <auto-dbm(a)ripe.net> will use a specific update path (RPSL or RIPE-181). Thus, we advise that updates in RIPE-181 format should be sent to <auto-181(a)ripe.net> and that updates in RPSL format should be sent to <auto-rpsl(a)ripe.net>. Please note that from Monday, 15th October, 2001, updates in RIPE-181 format will no longer be accepted by the RIPE Database. Further information is available from http://www.ripe.net/rpsl/. If you have any questions, please contact <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>. Regards, A. M. R. Magee -------------- Database Group RIPE NCC

cgi-bin/whois?query broken

hello when inserting objects with <angle brackets> like this: import: from AS1273 action pref=100; accept <AS-ECRC> AND NOT {0.0.0.0/0} the query http://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/whois?query=AS5427 will not display the data correctly: import: from AS1270 action pref=100; accept AND NOT {0.0.0.0/0} also, AFAIR previously the http output made the 'ASxxx' strings as links to the objects which was very convenient. will we see that again? regards, heiko -- Heiko Blume (HB21) mailto:heiko.blume@iprimus.de iPrimus Telecommunications GmbH http://www.iprimus.de Marienburger Str. 1, D-10405 Berlin Phone: +49.30/443366-0 Fax: -15 Core-l -- If you don't know then you don't need to know

Another one feature request
by Dmitry Morozovsky 19 Jun '01

19 Jun '01

Hello there colleagues, what about loosing requirements a little for inetnum ranges format? Specifically, do not require spaces around dash in the middle of two IPv4? I.e., 195.91.168.0-195.91.169.255 I suppose could be considered as valid range as 195.91.168.0 - 195.91.169.255 Thank you in advance :) Sincerely, D.Marck [DM5020, DM268-RIPE, DM3-RIPN] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** Dmitry Morozovsky --- D.Marck --- Wild Woozle --- marck(a)rinet.ru *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Help upderstanding error while updating ripe mntner object ...
by Thomas C. Knoeller 19 Jun '01

19 Jun '01

Howdy, Sorry to waste bandwidth, but I was wondering if someone could explain to me this error I am getting while trying to update an object in the ripe database. I am updating a maintainer object, and it seems to get past the authentication state (pgp auth), and the parsing state, but gives me the error: ==== BEGIN PGP SIGNED PART (keyID(s): C9DD67B0) ==== Update FAILED: [mntner] GBLX-RIPE-MNT ***Error: Object is referenced from other objects ==== END PGP SIGNED PART ==== Since this is the maintainer object for the rest of my objects in the database, I would think having it references from other objects would be a good thing. Can you help me understand what I am missing here? Thanks, -Tom

Hello there colleagues, I suppose it is not so hard to implement ignoring of leading whitespaces in update messages. Just because automatic RIPE-141 checker produce indented objects...

New mailing list: db-help
by Andrei Robachevsky 15 Jun '01

15 Jun '01

Dear Colleagues, Following the request from the community the RIPE NCC created a new mailing list: db-help(a)ripe.net. The charter of the list is as follows: "The db-help mailing list is provided to facilitate exchange knowledge and expertise about the RIPE Database between more experienced users of the database and less experienced ones. The RIPE NCC provides their input on a best effort basis. In case one expects an answer from the RIPE NCC, the request should be directed to the RIPE Database Administration at ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net." The RIPE NCC will regularly publish the contents of the Database FAQ and other useful information. Put the line "subscribe db-help" in the body of the message to majordomo(a)ripe.net to add your address to the list. Alternatively, you can send the line "help" in the body to get a list of commands accepted by the majordomo mail server. Regards, Andrei Robachevsky DB Group Manager RIPE NCC

You can download this release by anonymous FTP from the following URL: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/software/ripe-dbase-3.0.1.tar.gz If you do not intend to use the cross-reference files or prefer to build them yourself via "make docs", you can download the source without these files by anonymous FTP from the following URL: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/software/ripe-dbase-3.0.1-nocxref.tar.gz A new version of the Whois client is also included with this release, in the utils/whois3 directory.

RE: RPSL route-set/as-set query.
by Low, Adam 11 Jun '01

Thanks for that insight, I guess we are going to have to replace our old as-macro/set with a route-set instead then, I wonder if it would be easier to change the RPSL specification than request all our peers to change there policy configurations!

RPSL route-set/as-set query.
by Low, Adam 11 Jun '01

11 Jun '01

Hi Colleagues, I had a question that I am unable to find an answer for within the RPSL RFC's, it seems that it is not possible to nest route-set objects within as-set objects, would this be a limitation of the RIPE DBM, RPSL or syntax ?! The reason I ask is that we are migrating a customer onto our network and whilst renumbering we will be advertising there assigned blocks from another provider. We currently use as-set's to depict our announcements to peers/providers so would like to add these to our as-set using a route-set object without having to replace our as-set object with a route-set object for our peer/provider announcements. Thanks, Adam
