= How do I allocate a new IP block? =

Requests for new IP blocks should go to either {{{support@he.net}}} for Telehouse IP blocks or {{{support@bandcon.com}}} for Bandcon IP blocks.

 * Add the block to the [wiki:ip_allocation IP Allocation page]
 * Add the block to puppet - in the manifests/globals.pp file.
 * Run: `freepuppet-helper GenerateIPsFromRoutes` to add the new IPs to puppet. git add and git commit the new files created.
 * Add IP addresses to our DNS servers (for reverse lookups). 
   * For Bandcon: Login to {{{mayfirst@hay.mayfirst.org}}}. Edit ~/bin/create-reverse-ip to modify the first two variables to reflect the IP range you are adding.
   * For HE: edit viewsic.mayfirst.org:/etc/tinydns/root/special-records and then type make. Keep track of #7196 for changes.
