Hello Daren,

 

'F5 releases the updates to the database in the GeoLocationUpdates container on the F5 Downloads site.'

 

Maybe in this container you will find the .dat file you are searching for.

 

But based on this article

It will include only these files

 

  • F5GeoIP.dat
  • F5GeoIPv6.dat
  • F5GeoIPISP.dat
  • F5GeoIPOrg.dat

It seems that F5 does not provide the City2.dat that's why you may need to get directly from the vendor Digital Element that is as mentioned here
