<br>
here is a problem I don't find easy to solve. Would you assist me in understanding the<br>
constraints?<br>
<br>
Customer has a /22 network <a href="http://194.76.156.0/22" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">194.76.156.0/22</a> with the proper inetnum object. The inetnum<br>
objects has a mnt-by: IPHH-NOC and mnt-routes: IPHH-NOC.<br>
<br>
A route object exists but with a different maintainer:<br>
<br>
route: <a href="http://194.76.156.0/22" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">194.76.156.0/22</a><br>
descr: CMELCHERS-QSC-NET<br>
descr: via Plusnet<br>
origin: AS20676<br>
mnt-by: PLUSNET-NOC <<<---- not IPHH-NOC<br>
<br>
We are now trying to create an additional route object for a different ASN:<br>
<br>
route: <a href="http://194.76.156.0/22" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">194.76.156.0/22</a><br>
descr: C. Melchers via MEKO-S<br>
origin: AS207630<br>
mnt-by: IPHH-NOC <<<--- This is the maintainer in the inetnum object<br>
source: RIPE<br>
<br>
The RIPE DB refuses the update:<br>
<br>
Create FAILED: [route] <a href="http://194.76.156.0/24AS207630" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">194.76.156.0/24AS207630</a><br>
route: <a href="http://194.76.156.0/24" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">194.76.156.0/24</a><br>
descr: C. Melchers via MEKO-S<br>
descr: belongs to <a href="http://194.76.156.0/22" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">194.76.156.0/22</a><br>
origin: AS207630<br>
mnt-by: IPHH-NOC<br>
source: RIPE<br>
***Error: Authorisation for [route] <a href="http://194.76.156.0/22AS20676" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">194.76.156.0/22AS20676</a> failed<br>
using "mnt-by:"<br>
not authenticated by: PLUSNET-NOC<br>
<br>
So the DB expects the maintainer from the other route object. But I don't understand why<br>
the mnt-routes in the inetnum-object doesnt give preference over the maintainer on a<br>
different route-object.<br>
<br>
Anyone who could share their honest opinion?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Sascha<br>
