Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Legrand France
enterprise business infrastructure
The registrant is the company's internal IT department, listed by its initials.
What it's used for
- An electrical equipment manufacturer's network. Two IPv4 prefixes announced from France, no IPv6, one thousand two hundred and eighty addresses, through a single observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- The AS handle is six letters: three for a corporate group and three for the brand, with the group part first, so the name reads backwards from how the company writes it.
- Both netnames are the country code, that same six-letter contraction, and one identical date, so both blocks were registered on the same day.
- The first registrant on both is the company's information systems department under its three-letter local abbreviation, ahead of the company itself.
- There is no separate abuse contact on either block.
- Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- An internal department listed ahead of the company is a good indicator of who actually holds the addresses inside a large organisation. The legal entity signs the contract; the department answers the mail.
- Manufacturers of physical products keep small public networks and large private ones. Twelve hundred addresses is enough for a website, mail and a handful of services, and everything that matters to the business runs where this record cannot see it.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-23, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
