GeoIP-Quova header help

Hi Anish,

You can use an iRule like this to look up the country for a client IP and insert it into a header:

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

    Look up the client IP in the GeoIP database and get the country
   set country [whereis [IP:client_addr] country]

    For EU countries, set the value to EU
   switch $country {
      "FR" -
      "GB" -
      "ES" -
      "IE" {
          For these countries, set the country to EU
         set country "EU"
      }
   }
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {

    Replace (or insert if not there already) the country in a custom header
   HTTP::header replace HTTP_X_FORWARDED_GEO value $country
}

Hi Anish,

 

 

After reading some internal docs, I think that the EULA for Quova's GeoIP data restricts any type of use where the GeoIP info is passed off of LTM. So to follow the licensing for Quova data on LTM, you couldn't use the above iRule or any other that transmits the GeoIP data to non-LTM hosts.

 

 

If you want more info on this, you could contact your local F5 SE or partner.

 

 

Sorry for any confusion,

 

Aaron

Thanks! Aaron

 

 

I will take this up with my F5 partner

 

 

Regards
