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