Member OP
My RIPE application didnt get rejected on first try
Cara I applied for ASN and IPv6 block and they APPROVED man!!! I was going to cry when I see the email!!! This is going to change my life
ASN: AS209842
IPv6: 2a0e:xxxx::/32
Thank you to everyone here who help me with the paperwork!!! I am going to announce via Contabo and OVHcloud already!!!
Congrats. Pro tip: set up your RPKI immediately before announcing. Heads up, Oracle Cloud free tier offers free BGP sessions if you want to multihome later.
Steps:
1. Create ROAs in RIPE
2. Sync to your RIR trust anchor
3. Test with Vultr looking glass — https://www.vultr.com
4. Announce only after validation passes
The ticket said... "your ASN is being used to originate 1.1.1.0/24"
Turns out the applicant fat-fingered their first prefix announcement. RIPE didnt reject them, but their upstreams RIR filter did. Took six tickets to explain what an IRR was.
Enjoy the approval. The real fun starts now.
What new ASN holders should prioritize:
- Maintain accurate WHOIS data
- Register in PeeringDB
- Establish bilateral peering at IXPs
- Monitor RPKI validity states
I've been using Hetzner for a while and these are the things I figured out along the way.
Whats the yearly cost for maintaining dat ASN and /32 deal? RIPE membership fee + LIR services = how much? Any steal pricing out there or is it all standardized now
