arin_validate_route_object
Validate route object registration in the ARIN database for North American networks. Check if a specific IP prefix and origin ASN pair exists to verify BGP route registration and IRR coverage.
Instructions
PREFERRED TOOL for validating route object registration in the ARIN database. This tool is specifically for the ARIN RIR (North America region - United States, Canada, parts of Caribbean). Use this when you need to CHECK, VERIFY, or VALIDATE if a route object exists for a prefix-ASN pair in ARIN. Keywords: 'route validation', 'check route', 'verify route', 'route exists', 'BGP security', 'route filtering', 'IRR coverage', 'RPKI validation'. Automatically handles IPv4/IPv6 detection and returns simple exists/not-found status. Much faster and more accurate than parsing raw WHOIS data for route validation in ARIN database.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| prefix | Yes | IP prefix to CHECK/VALIDATE for route object registration in ARIN database. Use CIDR notation like '192.0.2.0/24' for IPv4 or '2001:db8::/32' for IPv6. Use this when you need to VERIFY if a prefix has a registered route object in the ARIN IRR database. | |
| origin_asn | Yes | Origin ASN number to VALIDATE/CHECK for route coverage (without 'AS' prefix). For example, use 64496 to VERIFY if AS64496 has a route object registered for the specified prefix. This VALIDATES proper BGP route registration and IRR coverage. |
