Configuring RIPE

Overview

The latest IPAM plugin update includes support for RIPE REST API integration, allowing for automated creation, updates, deletion of inetnum, person, role objects in RIPE db.

Configuring IPAM

Tab should be available in your IPAM module - RIPE, as can be seen below:

Open

Using this page, configure following fields:

1. Maintainer - your RIPE maintainer handle

2. Maintainer Password - your RIPE password for accessing API

3. Inetnum Prefix - prefix for the created inetnum, required as autogenerated name uses IP address and inetnum cannot start with a number

4. Test mode - ensures RIPE extension uses testmode, note: all changes made in test mode will be removed automatically at midnight

5. Auto-update inetnum on assignment - the inetnum will be automatically updated when any changes are made to related subnet assignments in IPAM

6. Auto-update role/person on client/contact edit - roles and person will be automatically updated if changes are made to the customer/contact that is assigned

7. Auto-delete inetnum on unassignment - inetnum will be automatically deleted if the subnet is deleted

Configuring HostBill

For RIPE to work properly in IPAM, it is necessary to add registration fields (checkboxes) with the variable names:

• ripetech

• ripeadmin

• ripeperson

• riperole

To add the mentioned registration fields, follow these steps:

1. Go to Clients → Registration fields in your HostBill

2. Click Add new field

3. Enter Field Name

4. Set type to checkbox for ripetech, ripeadmin and input for ripeperson, riperole

   Open

   

5. Under Advanced tab, set field Variable name (ripetech, ripeadmin, ripeperson or riperole)

6. The action should be repeated for each required variable

After adding the necessary registration fields and configuring the RIPE, you should perform a Test connection to check that everything has been properly configured.
