Updating Geolocation of /24 within corporate /16
Hi NANOG, You have given good advice on updating IP Geolocation data in the past, including visiting 'www.google.com' from a mobile device and selecting "use exact location [from GPS]". This worked out well for us a few years ago for a single IP which we were NATting out of in a new geographic location. Now we are in a position where we have been assigned site-local /24 (out of the corporation's larger /20 space) networks for a couple of locations and I'm wondering how I go about updating IP Geolocation data to note that two /24 networks are no longer at the Corporate HQ location. I understand that when users first start using these site-specific /24 networks, they will be lumped in with the larger /20 space as far as their geolocation goes, but besides the Google/GPS method, is there a cleaner/better way to do this? Do Geolocation services use SWIP data? Should I have the /24s have separate SWIP data noting the geo location? I'd love a place to be able to say: "This /24 is at this geoloc; this /24 is at this geoloc; and the corporate /20 remains where it always has been." Many thanks for your insights in this matter, -Dave
Have you tried submitting a correction to some geolocation services directly yet? Maxmind is pretty heavily used. https://support.maxmind.com/correction-faq/submit-a-correction/how-do-i-subm... On Thursday, February 9, 2017, David Sotnick <sotnickd-nanog@ddv.com> wrote:

Hi Tyler, I have not yet tried this, but am doing so now, thanks! -Dave On Thu, Feb 9, 2017 at 6:27 PM, Tyler Conrad <tyler@tgconrad.com> wrote:

If you have a peering session with Google or one of their cache boxes, you can set a GeoIP publishing endpoint using their online portal at isp.google.com. That's only for Google though. -richard On Fri, Feb 10, 2017 at 3:19 AM, David Sotnick <sotnickd-nanog@ddv.com> wrote:
