Fw: test database question

[Timothy Lowe <]

Dear Jon,

Thank you for your question on rtconfig one of the tools in the IRR Toolset. 

To run rtconfig on a local dataset use the -f flag in your command line alias for rt config:

Usage: Simulating Policy Change 
To avoid the impact of the policy change, you can do the simulation before publishing your aut-num

1) Copy the aut-num object into a txt file 

2) Modify the aut-num and save the new in the file 

3) Run RtConfig with the flag  -f  " E.g.  rt  f my_new_asn.txt < rt-template > new_router_config    Other values will be read from the RR (peer aut-nums etc) 

4) Compare new router config output with the old or check if the result describes desired behaviour

This and other information on the IRR Toolset and the courses the RIPE NCC gives is available here:

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the correct list for this or not, but here goes.
I've been setting up all our relevant objects in the test database with the 
aim of testing various combinations of aut-num imports and exports so I can 
familiarise myself with using RtConfig.
Is it possible to run RtConfig againt the test database - if so what do I use 
as the server name, I've tried rrtest.ripe.net and test-whois.ripe.net 
without any success.
Also is it possible to use aoe and roe with the test database ?

TIA 
Jon Lawrence
