A RIPE NCC member and Local Internet Registry.

Gentlent is a RIPE NCC member with its own LIR. As your sponsoring LIR we request, register and maintain your AS number with RIPE NCC, from Düsseldorf.

How it works

From request to your first BGP session.

You tell us about your network, we handle the paperwork with RIPE NCC. Assignment usually takes one to two weeks.

Request your ASN

Tell us who will hold the ASN and how you plan to route, in the Gentlent dashboard.

We handle RIPE NCC

As your sponsoring LIR we prepare the sponsorship agreement and submit the request to RIPE NCC.

Start routing

Once assigned, set up your BGP sessions, announce your prefixes and publish ROAs.

Your choice

Let us manage it, or take the keys yourself.

Every ASN comes with both options. Pick the one that fits how your team works.

Managed by Gentlent

We look after the RIPE Database for you. You make changes in our dashboard, without writing RPSL.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Who holds the ASN?

You do. RIPE NCC assigns the AS number to your organisation, and Gentlent acts as your sponsoring LIR.

What do I need to get an ASN?

RIPE NCC assigns an ASN to networks with their own routing policy, usually because they connect to more than one network. We check your request with you before we submit it.

Managed or direct RIPE NCC access: what's the difference?

With managed, we maintain your RIPE Database objects and you make changes in our dashboard. With direct access, you maintain your ASN in the RIPE Database yourself. Gentlent stays your sponsoring LIR either way.

Can I use my ASN outside Gentlent?

Yes. Use it with any provider that supports BGP, for anycast worldwide or within the RIPE region. Transit over AS52112 is optional.

Do you support RPKI delegation?

Yes. Manage your ROAs in our dashboard, or run your own RPKI certificate authority with delegated RPKI.

What happens to the free IPv6 range if I move my ASN?

The range is part of the Gentlent sponsorship and is handed back when the ASN moves to another sponsoring LIR. We confirm the handover timing in writing before the transfer.

Is VAT included?

No. The 50 € per year include RIPE NCC fees, and VAT is added where it applies.
