Maintaining IPs in LIRs/Enterprise LIRs
Hi all, I am currently in search for a tool which will help a LIR to maintain its IP addresses - currently everything is listed inside an Excel file, which is, IMHO, a very limited way of maintaining the lists. I was wondering what tools people in other LIRs in Europe use. I'll be more than happy for any advice (and links… :-).

Global Crossing uses a complex but powerful home-grown IP database system which, when coupled with an interface for requesting address space, suffices for our needs. The database very cleanly aggregates and de-aggregates blocks on the fly, tracks user information and customer numbers, can prioritize and de-prioritize blocks for assignment, and can report utilization statistics on an as-requested basis. Everything is written in perl. If there is interest, we can publish these tools as freeware/open source for the RIPE LIR community to use. /david *--------------------------------* | Global Crossing API | | Manager, Global IP Addressing | | (703) 627-5800 | | huberman@gblx.net | *--------------------------------*

Were I can vote? :-) AFAIK there were some discussions about such public tool but it never raised to something real. -- Regards, Vladimir.
Hi, We would be very interested to see an IP management tool like this. I think there is a large interest in the community for this. Kind regards, Neil -- Hostmaster edNET t: +44 131 625 5560 (direct) t: +44 131 466 7003 (office) On Mon, 24 Sep 2001, David R Huberman wrote:

You may want to give RoboBijal a go... it was discussed on the Tools working group. Get it from www.robobijal.org Regards Denesh -- Denesh Bhabuta Cyberstrider Limited - www.cyberstrider.net Aexiomus Limited - www.aexiomus.net

did I miss some announcement on the list here? I was following the discussions about the specs very quietly, but nevertheless very interested. Besides that I haven't read anything more so far... Cheers, Carsten
