IT Network Documentation - IPv4/v6 Public Facing addresses
Ben Fairless made this Freedom of Information request to Australian Federal Police as part of a batch sent to 29 authorities
This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.
Dear Australian Federal Police,
I am writing to you to request information pertaining to your Information Technology infrastructure.
Namely, I am after records detailing the IPv4 (and if relevant,
IPv6) addresses used to access the public internet from within your network.
To clarify, these are the public facing addresses of your private network. I am only requesting addresses that are used to access the general public internet.
In addition, if it is such that a particular IP address serves a
particular area within your department (for example, one IP address is used for Media Relations, while another is used for Ministerial Communications), I also request access to this information.
To assist you in locating this information, I suggest it would be found in network documentation, or at the very least in configuration files of your
router and firewall equipment.
Please do not hesitate to reply if you require clarification to
fulfil this request.
I look forward to your response.
Yours faithfully,
Ben Fairless

Dear Mr Fairless,
I note that a decision was due on this request by 15 August 2014.
Unfortunately, extra delays have occurred in the processing of your request due to a significant increase in requests received by the AFP and the absence of key personnel to process applications. This has greatly increased case officer workloads and unfortunately has impacted on the processing of your request.
We are writing to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) seeking an extension pursuant to Section 15AC of the Act and informing them of the delays that have occurred in processing this request. We anticipate providing you with our decision by 15 September 2014. They will no doubt be in touch with you in due course.
Please accept our apologies for the delay and be assured your request is receiving attention.
