About the RIPE Database

The RIPE database contains registration details of IP addresses and AS numbers originally allocated by the RIPE NCC (RIPE Network Coordination Center). The database contains information such as organizations that hold IP resources, where the allocations were made, and contact details for the networks. Organizations or individuals that hold the allocated address blocks are responsible for updating information in the database.
The NIOS appliance supports submitting registration and reassignment updates to the RIPE database, which can be accessed through the RIPE API interface or an email template. For more information, see Configuring RIR Communication Settings.

Note: Before the NIOS appliance sends registration updates to the RIPE database, it does not validate the data you submit. Therefore, if you enter invalid information that cannot be mapped to the RIPE database, your updates will fail. In addition, the NIOS appliance does not synchronize data from the RIPE database.
