Service Scope
This documentation applies to services purchased from our store https://store.axivora.net/products/lir-service/.
The tutorial is generic, but some details (such as MNT-REF) reference information provided by Axivora.
1. Register RIPE NCC Access Account
Link: https://access.ripe.net/registration
Use this link to register a RIPE NCC Access account so you can manage resources within the RIPE NCC region.
If you already have an account, you can skip this step.
2. Create Role and Maintainer (MNT) Objects (Required)
Link: https://apps.db.ripe.net/db-web-ui/webupdates/create/RIPE/role/self
Role object: represents a role executed by one or more people, such as a team handling network incidents.
Maintainer object: stores maintainer authentication information. Other objects use the mnt-by attribute to specify who is authorised to maintain them.
Complete the following fields:
| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
mntner | Maintainer identifier (letters, numbers, _ and - allowed). | AXIVORA-MNT |
role | Role name (letters, numbers, selected characters allowed). | AXIVORA MNT |
address | Office address of the role. | - |
e-mail | Email address of the role. | - |
Click SUBMIT to create the Role and Maintainer objects at the same time.
The page will display role with primary key "EXAMPLE-RIPE". Provide this key to your LIR so it can be used as the admin-c, tech-c, and abuse-c for your AS. You can also create a dedicated Role object via https://apps.db.ripe.net/db-web-ui/webupdates/create/RIPE/role for AS contacts.
Note:
- The new Role object's
mnt-byshould point to the new Maintainer → this allows the Maintainer to modify the Role. - The new Maintainer's
admin-cshould reference the Role → this lists the Role as the administrator contact.
This mutual reference requires creating the Role and Maintainer together.
3. Set the Abuse Mailbox (Required)
Link: https://apps.db.ripe.net/db-web-ui/query
Enter the Role primary key you created above, then click the search button.
In the result view, click Update object in the upper-right corner.
Click + beside any field to add the abuse-mailbox attribute, enter the abuse contact mailbox, and click SUBMIT to save.
Note: RIPE NCC will verify the mailbox, so ensure it is valid and monitored.
4. Create an Organisation (ORG) Object (Required)
Link: https://apps.db.ripe.net/db-web-ui/webupdates/create/RIPE/organisation
The Organisation object is the core record for managing your RIPE resources. All other resources link back to it.
Complete the following fields:
| Field | Description | Guidance / Example |
|---|---|---|
mnt-by | Who maintains this object. The Maintainer you created earlier fills automatically. | - |
organisation | Organisation identifier (generated automatically). | AUTO-1 |
org-name | Organisation name (legal entity or personal name). | - |
address | Organisation contact address. | - |
e-mail | Organisation contact email. | - |
abuse-c | Abuse contact – must reference a Role with an abuse-mailbox. | - |
mnt-ref | Which Maintainers may reference this Organisation. | If requesting an ASN or requesting IP space, add MNT-REF: MOEDOVE-MNT. |
Click SUBMIT. The page will display organisation "ORG-EXAMPLE-RIPE". Provide this identifier to your LIR so it can be used as the org attribute on AS/IP resources.
5. Submit Documentation
If you are only registering IP resources, you can skip this step and submit the ORG object (with MOEDOVE-MNT in mnt-ref).
Submit the following:
- Company users: company registration certificate.
- Individual users: passport / national ID / any valid proof of identity (front and back).
Network resource information:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Proof of network activity in RIPE NCC region | e.g. European VPS invoices |
| AS activity region | Country |
as-name | AS name (e.g. Axivora-Connect-Ltd) |
org | Organisation identifier |
admin-c / tech-c / abuse-c | Role primary key |
mnt-by | Maintainer identifier |
Submit these details through your ticket or by emailing [email protected]. Axivora will verify the data and complete the sponsorship with RIPE NCC.
