Does BIG IP Ver. 12.X support automatic updates of the Geo Location Database?
Hi,
We are using F5 BIG IP Ver 11.6.0 at the moment. We did employ Geo-blocking for a while however we found that we needed to manually update the DB or we were soon outdated and we saw some IPs being incorrectly identified as IP addresses are reissued.
I have heard that F5 BIG IP Ver 12.0/12.1 allows to Geo Location databases to udpate automatically. I have tried to find official documentation on this however I have not been able to find any information at all. Is anyone able to confirm or point me in the right direction of the documentation that shows Ver 12.0/12.1 does support automatic updates of the Geo Locations databases? Thank You
Kind Regards Chris
Chris,
I don't believe this has been done. The current solution article for updating the database list version 12.x under 'Applies To':
https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/11000/100/sol11176.html
Also, I do know there is an enhancement request still open on this internally.
Thanks, Tikka
