SARA - Shepp Examples

1. Prerequisites

It is expected that the ISP is registered on the test environment and has knowledge on the shepp client application, provided by Lacnic, or any other client that is compatible with the protocol extensions used by Lacnic, specified on the drafts available with the software library.

Also, the ISP must first be registered with Lacnic in order to get access to the test server and have an IP range allocated for testing.

The document LACNIC EPP Policy and Restrictions for ISPs should be read before using this EPP client.

2. Command Sequence

The following command should be executed successfully so that the ISP can become accredited by Lacnic to use the EPP infrastructure. All the examples use the shepp client application, which can be downloaded along with the libepp_nicbr library.
