Is it possible to choose your own NIC Handle when creating ROLE objects?
Hi I'm trying to create some ROLE objects, but encounter an error: nic-hdl: Syntax error I was told from support that in ROLE and PERSON object, I must use AUTO-1 as NIC handle. This information is not correct for the PERSON object, since I choose my own NIC handle when I created my own PERSON object. So is there a way around this for the ROLE object, too? Thanks. - Øystein

Hi Øystein Whoever told you that is mistaken. If you type "-v role" in the web query form it shows you the allowed syntax for a ROLE object's "nic-hdl:" attribute:
From 2 to 4 characters optionally followed by up to 6 digits optionally followed by a source specification. The first digit must not be "0". Source specification starts with "-" followed by source name up to 9-character length. So you can set any Nic Handle you wish as long as it follows these rules and it doesn't already exist and has never existed (they cannot be reused after deletion). cheersdenis

There are options to create something easy to remember .. We did this as well and used AS51088 as our input for the ripe role object.

Hello, and thank you for your answer. But I think I need to be spoonfed about this… This is the role object I want to create, with the NIC-HDL I want to use: ROLE: Aalesund Admin Contacts ADDRESS: Postboks 1521 address: 6015 address: Aalesund E-MAIL: ripe@alesund.kommune.no admin-c: Dal NIC-HDL: AALESUND-ADMIN-C MNT-BY: no-alesund-kommune-1-mnt SOURCE: RIPE So according to the rules, the NIC-handle can be something like this: ALE-ADMIN-C ? I want to get this right, since I’m about to make several objects, and want to follow some sort of template.

Denis has already provided a good answe. But let me help more with an example.
So according to the rules, the NIC-handle can be something like this:
ALE-ADMIN-C ?
No, you may not have 2 dashes in the NIC handle. You can only have a NIC handle of the form: XXX or XXX-YYY The first part (XXX) has to start with 2-4 letters, and optionally up to 6 digits. The -YYY part is optional, but if present, must be a dash, followed by up to 9 letters. Here are some valid examples: ALE ALE-RIPE ALE1234 AL345-RIPE ALE90-KOMMUNE But the following are NOT allowed: ALE-ADMIN-C AL023 ALESUND Regards, Anand

ALE ALE-RIPE ALE1234 AL345-RIPE ALE90-KOMMUNE
Almost :) But after the '-' you can only use a source name, like 'RIPE, 'APNIC', etc. so ALE90-KOMMUNE is not allowed cheers denis
But the following are NOT allowed:
ALE-ADMIN-C AL023 ALESUND

Hi, I would rather say you use AUTO-1 combined with 2-4 characters of your choise. I.e. AUTO-1ABCD if you like "ABCD".
