Network Modifications
You can modify your Network Record (NET) to change the network name, Origin Autonomous System (AS), Resource Point of Contact (POC) handles, and public comments on an IP address block.
Note: Changes to reverse DNS delegation cannot be made with a network modification.
Network modifications must be submitted by a POC with the appropriate permissions, as defined in the following table:
Action | Admin | Tech | Routing |
---|---|---|---|
Modify Network Name | ✅ | ✅ | |
Modify Origin AS | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
Modify Public Comments | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
Modify Resource POCs | ✅ | ✅ |
Using Your ARIN Online Account
To modify a NET using ARIN Online:
- Select IP Addresses > Manage Networks from the navigation menu, then select the Net Handle of the NET you need to update.
- From the Actions menu, choose Modify.
- Enter the updated information and choose Submit. Your changes will be visible immediately in your account, and ARIN’s Whois will reflect the update shortly thereafter.
Using RESTful Calls
To automate large numbers of network modifications, you can use RESTful calls.
Note: To modify a NET through a RESTful call, you must first generate an API key.
RESTful Calls
ARIN offers a RESTful web service that you can use to modify network records. This provisioning system allows for more secure interactions with ARIN’s database and provides even stronger authentication on automated submissions. Visit Automating Record Management with Reg-RWS for more information.
