ASN32 test server
by Katie Petrusha 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

[Apologies for duplicate mails] Dear colleagues, As you may be aware, from 1 January 2007, it will be possible to request 32-bit ASNs (ASN32 objects). You can find the policy on these 4-byte ASNs at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-389.html Although the first of these will not appear in the RIPE Database until the start of next year, we have set up an ASN32 TEST server. This server has a copy of the RIPE Database as of 2006.11.07. It is available for queries: asn32.ripe.net port 43043 And for updates: asn32-dbm(a)ripe.net You may use this database to create your own test ASN32 object(s). You may also test against the existing "aut-num" object AS1.1 See 'whois -h asn32.ripe.net -p 43043 -rGB AS1.0 - AS1.65535' for more details. Please note that updates made to the ASN32 TEST Database will not change any data in the RIPE Database. The notifications are disabled to avoid confusion, the acknowledgements will be sent as usual. We hope it is clear that these are test messages. The following banner has been added to mails: ############################################################## # # # This is the ASN32 Test Server # # # # This update DID NOT affect any RIPE Database objects # # # # To update the live RIPE Database, mail to auto-dbm(a)ripe.net# # # ############################################################## If you have any questions, contact ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net. -- Katie Petrusha RIPE NCC
