For our IP Announcement product, we expect every prefix we announce to have a valid Route Object and ROA-record with the RIR (RIPE, ARIN, RDB or APNIC).
How to Check Your Current Status Right Now
You can instantly verify if your IP ranges that you have announced by Leaseweb, have valid Route Objects and ROAs using the public tools like NLNOG IRR Explorer and Arelion looking Glass
RR Status: Must display an active ‘route’ or ‘route6’ object.
PKI Status: Must display ‘Valid’. (If it reads “No (covering) RPKI ROA found”, you must issue a ROA).
How to create valid Route Object and ROA-record for your prefix
To prevent your prefixes from receiving warnings or being withdrawn from being announced on the internet, please complete the following steps with your RIR, see below for detailed information:
1. Create/Update IRR Route Objects:
Ensure every IP subnet announced has a valid ‘route’ or ‘route6’ object in an authoritative IRR registry (e.g., RADB, RIPE, APNIC, ARIN) referencing our correct regional ASN.
2. Publish RPKI ROA Records:
Log into your RIR portal (ARIN, RIPE NCC, or APNIC) and create a signed ROA for all IP ranges binding them to the correct Leaseweb ASN. Ensure your ‘maxLength’ accommodates all announced subnets e.g., ‘/24’ or ‘/48’ (for IPv6 prefixes).
Documentation
Direct links to official documentation and portal instructions for creating RPKI ROA records (Route Origin Authorizations) and IRR Route Objects (route / route6) across RIPE, APNIC, ARIN, and RADB:
1. RIPE NCC (Europe, Middle East, Central Asia)
- ROA Records (Hosted RPKI):
- Documentation: RIPE NCC Hosted Certificate Authority Management
- How to create: Log in to my.ripe.net, navigate to the RPKI Dashboard, and under the BGP Announcements or ROAs tab, click New ROA. Enter your prefix, origin Autonomous System Number (ASN), and set the
maxLength(leaving it default/equal to the prefix length is recommended).
- Route Objects (RIPE Database / IRR):
- Documentation: RIPE Database Documentation – Creating Route Objects
- How to create: Log in to my.ripe.net, navigate to the RIPE Database Webupdates section, select
route(IPv4) orroute6(IPv6), fill inroute: <prefix>,origin: <AS-number>, andmnt-by: <MAINT-ID>, then submit.

2. ARIN (North America & Caribbean)
- ROA Records (RPKI):
- Documentation: ARIN Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs) Guide | ARIN RPKI RESTful API Guide
- How to create: Log in to ARIN Online, select Routing Security from the navigation menu, select Manage RPKI for your organization, click Create ROA, and enter your Origin ASN, Prefix, and Max Length.
- Route Objects (ARIN IRR):
- Documentation: ARIN Internet Routing Registry (IRR) User Guide
- How to create: In ARIN Online, go to Routing Security → IRR, click Create Object, select route or route6, specify your prefix, origin ASN, and maintainer, then submit.
3. APNIC (Asia-Pacific)
- ROA Records & Route Objects (MyAPNIC One-Stop Creation):
- Documentation: APNIC Resource Certification & RPKI Overview | Creating Route Objects Guide
- How to create: APNIC allows creating both simultaneously. Log in to MyAPNIC, go to Resources → Route Management, click Create Route, enter the IP prefix and Origin ASN, and tick the ROA and/or Whois Route Attributes options to generate both the RPKI ROA and IRR
route/route6objects together.
4. RADB (Routing Assets Database – IRR)
- Note: RADB is an independent Internet Routing Registry (IRR) and does not host RPKI CAs for creating ROAs directly; it is strictly used for IRR
route/route6objects. - Route Objects (IRR):
- Documentation: RADB Documentation & Portal | RADB API & Object Management Guide
- How to create: Log in to the RADB Portal, navigate to Maintain Objects, click Create Object, select
route(IPv4) orroute6(IPv6), and enter the required fields (route:,origin:,descr:, andmnt-by:).
