Dear Colleagues, As described in the 'Proposal for Periodic Clean-up for the TEST RIPE Database', the test database has been reset to a default set of objects. The Proposal for Periodic Clean-up for the TEST RIPE Database is available at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/db-wg/2005/msg01181.html The next periodic clean up will take place on the first Tuesday of next month (6 December, 2005). In the initial state, the following objects are loaded: mntner: TEST-ROOT-MNT mntner: TEST-DBM-MNT aut-num: AS1 person: Test Person role: TEST ROLE organisation: ORG-TT1-TEST inetnum: 0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255 inet6num: 0::/0 route: 0.0.0.0/0 route6: 0::/0 as-block: AS0 - AS65535 domain: in-addr.arpa domain: ip6.arpa domain: e164.arpa For generating objects you may need the password of TEST-DBM-MNT. It is written in the 'remarks:' attributes of the object itself. Please direct all comments and suggestions to ripe-dbm at ripe.net Regards, On Tuesday 25 October 2005 17:26, Can Bican wrote: > Proposal for Periodic Clean-up for the TEST RIPE Database > > Motivation > ---------- > > The RIPE NCC provides a TEST RIPE Database for users to learn how to > use the software and try out new updates without the risk of damaging > data in the real database.
