This chapter explains how to manage the Cisco Prime IP Express address space reporting tool, which is available from a regional cluster by using the web UI. Before you proceed with this chapter, become familiar with the concepts in the previous chapters of this part of the User’s Guide.
Using the Cisco Prime IP Express web UI, you can generate:
ARIN, which is one of the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), manages IP resources in Canada, the United States of America, and many Caribbean and North Atlantic islands.
ARIN allocates blocks of IP addresses to Internet Service Providers (ISPs), which, in turn, reassign blocks of address space to their customers. ARIN distinguishes between allocating IP address space and assigning IP address space. It allocates address space to smaller IRs for subsequent distribution to the IRs’ members and customers. It assigns address space to an ISP, or other organization, for use only within the network of that organization and only for the purposes documented in its requests and reports to ARIN.
Note | ARIN manages IP address resources under the auspices of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). In other geographies, ICANN has delegated authority for IP resources to different regional Internet Registries. Cisco Prime IP Express does not currently support the reports that these registries might require, nor does it now support IPv6 reports or autonomous system (AS) numbers. |
ARIN maintains detailed documentation about its policies and guidelines on its website.
http://www.arin.net
Be sure that you are familiar with these policies and guidelines before proceeding with ARIN reports.
The three options that you can specify for ARIN reports are:
Managing Point of Contact and Organization Reports
Managing IPv4 Address Space Utilization Reports
Managing Shared WHOIS Project Allocation and Assignment Reports
Cisco Prime IP Express provides reports that can submit Points of Contact (POC) and organizational information to ARIN. After you fill in these reports, you need to e-mail the information to ARIN. Submit the POC report (also called a template) to ARIN before preparing other reports.
Each POC is uniquely identified by a name called a POC handle and is associated with one or more Organization Identifiers (Org IDs) or resource delegations, such as an IP address space allocation or assignment. A POC handle, which ARIN assigns, can represent either an individual or a role.
The Organization report creates an Org ID and associates POC records with it. Create the Organization report after you create the POC report.
To manage POC and organization reports, log into the Cisco Prime IP Express regional web UI as a member of an administrator group assigned to the regional-addr-admin role.
Creating a Point of Contact Report
Registering a Point of Contact
Editing a Point of Contact Report
You create POCs so that managers can interact with ARIN to request and administer IP resources and so that network professionals can manage network operation issues.
You must register the POC with ARIN to receive a POC handle.
Edit a POC report after ARIN returns a POC handle to your organization or if your POC has changed.
Each organization is represented in the ARIN WHOIS database by a unique Org ID, consisting of an organization name, its postal address, and its POCs. While organizations may have more than one Org ID, ARIN recommends consolidating IP address resources under a single Org ID.
If you do not have an Org ID with ARIN, or you are establishing an additional Org ID, you must first create and submit a POC report. When ARIN confirms it has received your POC information, use Cisco Prime IP Express to complete an Organization form and submit that information.
You must register your Organization with ARIN to receive an Organization ID.
You might need to change organizational information that you have registered with ARIN.
Step 1 | From the Administration menu, choose Organizations under the Settings submenu to open the List ARIN Organizations page. |
Step 2 | Click the required organization in the Organizations pane on the left. |
Step 3 | Enter or
change data in the fields.
|
Step 4 | Click Save. |
Step 5 | Submit the updated report to ARIN as described in Registering an Organization. |
Note | The ARIN website contains extensive information about how it initially allocates address space and its threshold criteria for requesting additional address space. In general, for a single-homed organization, the minimum allocation from ARIN is a /20 block of addresses. For a multihomed organization, the minimum allocation is a /22 block of addresses. ARIN recommends that an organization requiring a smaller block of addresses contact an upstream ISP to obtain addresses. |
The Cisco Prime IP Express utilization report corresponds to the ARIN ISP Network Request template (ARIN-NET-ISP-3.2.2).
The ARIN shared WHOIS project (SWIP) provides a mechanism for finding contact and registration information for resources registered with ARIN. The ARIN database contains IP addresses, autonomous system numbers, organizations or customers that are associated with these resources, and related POCs.
The ARIN WHOIS does not locate any domain- or military-related information. Use whois.internic.net to locate domain information, and whois.nic.mil for military network information.
The regional web UI also provides two allocation and assignment report pages:
There are two types of BYOD reports:
Registered Device report displays the list of devices that are registered through BYOD web server. The report can be exported in the csv format. Only an admin user is allowed to delete a device using the Registered Device Report page.
To access the Registered Devices Report:
Regional Advanced or Expert Web UI
From the Operate menu choose Registered Devices in BYOD under Reports submenu to access the report in the List BYOD Registered Devices page.
LDAP server(s) configured to the BYOD web server or local DHCP server(s) or failover pairs, associated with the regional server will be listed in the clusters pane. All the registered devices in the LDAP server or devices registered in the local DHCP servers or failover pairs through the BYOD web server will be displayed in the List BYOD Registered Devices page.
Note | You must select the desired server from the cluster pane to view the corresponding registered devices report in the List BYOD Registered Devices page. |
Scope/Prefix report displays the list of scopes and prefixes that are used for BYOD. The report can be exported in the csv format.
To view the Scope/Prefix Report:
Regional Advanced or Expert Web UI
From the Operate menu choose Scopes/Prefix in BYOD under Reports submenu to view the report in the List BYOD Scope/Prefix page.
Local DHCP server(s) or failover pairs associated with the regional server will be listed in the clusters pane. All the scopes and prefixes created in the local DHCP servers or failover pairs for the BYOD web server will be displayed in the List BYOD Scope/Prefix page.
Note | You must select the desired server from the cluster pane to view the corresponding scopes and prefixes created during BYOD setup in the List BYOD Scope/Prefix page. |
