<P class=MsoNormal>Hi, <o:p></o:p></P>
<P
class=MsoNormal>
I have an ip <SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 8.5pt">216.207.229.136
that I want to assign. But when I url <A
href="https://www.arin.net/rest/net/NET-216-206-0-0-1/reassign?apikey=API-????-????-????-">https://www.arin.net/rest/net/NET-216-206-0-0-1/reassign?apikey=API-????-????-????-</A>????
And
<netBlock><type>S</type><startAddress>216.207.229.136</startAddress><cidrLength>29</cidrLength></netBlock>.
I got an error 400. But if I use <A
href="https://www.arin.net/rest/net/NET-216-206-0-0-1/reallocate?apikey=API-????-????-">https://www.arin.net/rest/net/NET-216-206-0-0-1/reallocate?apikey=API-????-????-</A>????
And type is “A” everything works fine. So my question is how do I know that ip
should be REALLOCATE or REASSIGN? Which field tells me it should be A or S after
I search on http://whois.arin.net/rest/ip/216.207.229.136?</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
