HI guys I know this is a NWI, but with only a 10 minute slot in the agenda to review all the NWIs I doubt much will be discussed. I have a question. This issue has generated an almost identical discussion at the last 4 RIPE Meetings, with the same options on the table and the same indecision at the end of the discussion. In between RIPE Meetings it doesn't seem to be a problem (maybe it isn't a problem at all). I see it is not on either agendas at this meeting for DB or Routing WGs. If it is still a (real) problem, can someone actually make a decision on one of the options to fix it and do something? cheers denis

Thank you. I guess that I must have a very old whois client, because it objected to most of the command line options you listed. But I was able to apply what you said and get the information I wanted from RIPE's web-based WHOIS query page, so that's great. Thanks a lot! Regards, rfg

Query all route objects for a given AS?
by Ronald F. Guilmette 07 Oct '16

Greetings, Sorry if this is an FAQ, but I'd like to know if there is a way to formulate a WHOIS query against whois.ripe.net in a way so as to obtain a complete list of the registered route objects that are associated with a given particular AS. If there's a way to do this, and if someone can instruct me on how it is done, I sure would appreciate that. Thanks.

Hi Ronald If you type it on the command line you need: whois -rBGi or AS3333 which basically says do an inverse query (-i or) on objects containing:origin: AS3333 give the full object details (-B), without any grouping (-G) and don't return related personal data (-r) If you use the query.html you must also check 'origin' under the 'Inverse lookup' tab. I also suggest you check the 'Do not retrieve related objects' box other wise you may return lots of personal data objects and get blocked very quickly. cheersdenis From: Ronald F.

Could you perhaps show me a complete example command line? Regards, rfg P.S. I also just now visited the following page: https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/query.html Under "Types" I checked only "route". Then in the search box I entered only the AS number of interest to me. Then I clicked on the "search" button. The result was that I only got the following error: ERROR:115: invalid search key Search key entered is not valid for the specified object type(s) Is it actually not possible to obtain from the RIPE WHOIS data base a list of all route objects currently associated with a particular AS number?
