Routing Registry - aut-num
Creating a New aut-num
Object
Sending the following command to the ARIN Routing Registry Whois:
% whois -h rr.arin.net "-t aut-num"
produces the following template:
% ARIN Internet Routing Registry WHOIS Interface
aut-num: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] as-name: [optional] [single] descr: [mandatory] [multiple] member-of: [optional] [single] [inverse key] import: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] export: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] default: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] advisory: [optional] [single] admin-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] tech-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] remarks: [optional] [multiple] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] source: [mandatory] [single]
Fill out the template and e-mail to rr@arin.net. Make sure to include values for all mandatory attributes. You may choose to include values for any or none of the optional fields. Use ARIN handles for the "admin-c" and "tech-c" fields. RFC2280 describes the syntax for the "import" and "export" attributes in this object. A sample completed template is below:
aut-num: AS2 as-name: CAT-AS descr: Catatonic State University descr: 114 Pine Circle descr: Oakton, NY 11333 descr: US import: from AS1 accept ANY import: from AS3 accept <^AS3$> export: to AS3 announce ANY export: to AS1 announce AS2 AS3 tech-c: MO1383-ARIN admin-c: DM472-ARIN mnt-by: MNT-ME changed: dawnm@arin.net 19981215 source: ARIN
