Step 1 - Normalize your Data
Prior to importing your data, there is a key step of Data Normalization to ensure that information is accurate. If you need assistance with parsing your data prior to importing, 6connect can help with our Data Analyst service. Email us at support@6connect.com for more information.
You can also use off the shelf tools like Microsoft Excel, MySQL, or Google Refine if you intend to take on the task of data cleanup in house.
Step 2 - Prep your Data
You can download Data Import templates from the Dashboard Tab or Data Import Tab. We recommend that you open the CSV import templates and get familiar with the data fields that you can import into the platform.
For Company information you can import relevant data including mailing/billing address information as well as ARIN specific SWIP fields, and specific DNS servers.
For Contact information you can import contact records assigned to a given Company. We support typical fields for this data including Name, multiple email fields, phone numbers as well as Timezone and Role (Roles can be customized from the IPAM Admin Tab).
For IPv4 Block information you can import the following fields:

  • ID - Unique identifier that corresponds with the Unique ID fields for a given "Company"
  • IP Block - standard octets (For example, 10.1.1.5 or 173.169.43.22)
  • Subnet - the mask of the IP block - we support values of /8 down to /32 (single hosts)
  • Notes - This open text field is also searchable by our "Assistant"
  • RIR - These values are assigned by you for your particular blocks
  • Region - These values are assigned by you for your particular blocks
  • Tags - Use the Tag values that you have already edited via IPAM Admin to organize your IP blocks by purpose (for example, tag blocks as "Customer" versus "Infrastructure"). You can tag blocks in a variety of ways. Note: To assign multiple tags to a block, simply separate the tags with commas.
  • Custom - you have a custom field per block available - simply use the last entry per line for this data
    Step 3 - Import your Data
    Get to the Data Import Tab from the Admin button to import your data.
