How IP Lessees Can Change/Update Subnets in the IPXO Marketplace

As a Marketplace client, you can change/update subnets at IPXO. Most subnets can be updated using the same procedures, regardless of whether they are allocated by AFRINIC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC or RIPE NCC. If there are any exceptions for what can and cannot be changed, our team can provide you with more information individually.

IPXO Marketplace clients can use subnets in many different geolocations, and they can also request to have the geolocation updated according to their needs. We send geolocation update requests to MaxMind, IP2Location, DB-IP and IPinfo databases. 

Use our IP geolocation guide to learn more about IP geolocation. 

The subnet’s Whois information changes are possible for the following data:  

Note: Depending on the Regional Internet Registry, changes of additional fields may be possible too. 

Here’s an example of Whois information provided by AFRINIC. To demonstrate an example, we use the subnet 154.16.99.0/24.

Here’s an example of Whois information provided by APNIC. To demonstrate an example, we use the subnet 103.141.68.0/24.

Here’s an example of Whois/RDAP information provided by ARIN. To demonstrate an example, we use the subnet 64.112.97.0/24. 

Here’s an example of Whois information provided by LACNIC. To demonstrate an example, we use the subnet 191.96.44.0/23.

Here’s an example of Whois information provided by RIPE NCC. To demonstrate an example, we use the subnet 2.59.180.0/24. 

Note: Whether or not changes are possible also depend on the subnet’s status/nettype. For example, it is not possible to change the netname and org attributes of a RIPE NCC subnet that has the Allocated PA status. Also note that we will not be able to change the Abuse-c attribute to your values as the abuse contact is our internal Abuse Prevention team. In the event of abuse, our team will provide you with all abuse-related details needed to take action.

If you want to have ROA, Whois route object or RADB route object created, you have to assign the subnet to a specific ASN. Follow the instructions below to learn how to do it.

Log in to the IPXO Portal and go to My Resources (IPAM) -> My Leased IPs.

Identify the subnet you want to assign and click the Assign button on the right.

Note: You can add as many ASNs as you want. However, keep in mind that you have to pay $9 per ASN.

Once the assignment is complete, you will receive the LoA (Letter of Authorization) document. You can find and download it from My Resources (IPAM) -> My Leased IPs -> LoA.

IPXO is currently working on the automated rDNS feature, which will enable you to make changes yourself. Until the feature is fully implemented and available for the clients of the IPXO platform, you have to contact us directly if you want a subnet to be delegated to your nameserver. To make a request, contact us via help.ipxo.com.

Note: If you want us to update the nameservers, make sure you set them up first. Here’s an example of a nameserver delegation in RIPE.
