<div>Good day,<br>

I want to create a hierarchical AS-SET AS329532:AS-ENVISAGE-AF similar to AS213481:AS-ENVISAGE-RIPE<br>

First problem: my.afrinic.net IRR’s as-set doesn’t accept that (the whois.afrinic.net webui is in maintenance mode, so can’t test that at present either)<br>
<br>
Also looking at Apnic documentation it matches their examples at https://www.apnic.net/manage-ip/using-whois/guide/as-set/#:~:text=The%20name%20of%20a%20set,starts%20with%20'AS%2D'.<br>
<br>
mnars.org gives a similar example: https://manrs.org/2022/12/why-network-operators-should-use-hierarchical-as-sets/<br>
<br>
<br>
Trying via Email, I get the following error:<br>
<br>

Am I missing something in the request?<br>
<br>
I can however create a non-hierarchical one like, but want to create one similar to the examples as used elsewhere.<br>

Sub-Problem 3: as-AS329532 doesn’t show up in my.afrinic.net ’s IRR AS-SET page, as (at creation time) ORG wasn’t filled in -> shouldn’t that be rather made a mandatory field?<br>
