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 We did employ Geo-blocking for a while however we found that we needed to manually update the DB or we were soon outdated and we saw some IPs...

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

I made a PHP script that will do most of the work for you. you still need to get the url for the download, as its unique to each user, but the code will download the file for you, the push it to each BigIP
