netbox-rir-manager 0.3.2

NetBox plugin for managing RIR (ARIN, RIPE, etc.) resources

NetBox RIR Manager

Manage Regional Internet Registry (RIR) resources directly from within NetBox.

Features

• Sync RIR resources -- import organizations, contacts (POCs), networks, and ASNs from your RIR into NetBox
• Auto-link to IPAM -- synced networks are linked to existing NetBox Aggregates, Prefixes, and ASNs
• Write operations -- reassign, reallocate, remove, and delete networks directly through the plugin
• Ticket tracking -- monitor RIR tickets and their status
• Per-user API keys -- encrypted at rest
• Scheduled sync -- daily background jobs keep RIR data current
• Pluggable backend architecture -- ARIN supported today; PRs welcome for RIPE, APNIC, LACNIC, AFRINIC
• Full REST API -- every resource and action exposed under /api/plugins/rir-manager/
• Sync logging -- full audit trail of every sync operation

Compatibility

Plugin version	NetBox version	Python
0.3.x	4.5	3.12-3.14

Installation

pip

pip install netbox-rir-manager

From source

pip install git+https://github.com/jsenecal/netbox-rir-manager.git

Configuration

In your NetBox configuration.py:

PLUGINS = [
    "netbox_rir_manager",
]

PLUGINS_CONFIG = {
    "netbox_rir_manager": {
        "top_level_menu": True,
        "sync_interval_hours": 24,
        "auto_link_networks": True,
        "enabled_backends": ["ARIN"],
        "encryption_key": "",  # defaults to NetBox SECRET_KEY
        "api_retry_count": 3,
        "api_retry_backoff": 2,
    },
}

Then run migrations:

cd /opt/netbox/netbox
python manage.py migrate

Warning: the encryption_key (or NetBox's SECRET_KEY when empty) is used to encrypt stored API keys. Changing or losing it makes previously encrypted keys unrecoverable.

See Configuration -> Settings for the full reference.

Contributing

PRs welcome -- especially for additional RIR backends (RIPE, APNIC, LACNIC, AFRINIC). The plugin uses a pluggable backend architecture; see netbox_rir_manager/backends/base.py for the abstract RIRBackend class.

Use conventional-commits PR titles (feat:, fix:, chore:, docs:, ...) -- release-drafter assembles release notes from them. Run make setup after cloning to install dev dependencies and the pre-commit hooks (including the AI-attribution-rejecting commit-msg hook).
