F5 IP geolocation database updating from "Edge" to "Pulse"

[buulam]

Hey everyone, not sure if folks have caught this but there's important information regarding the geo IP database found on BIG-IP. Coles notes is that a new (and better) type of database will be used.

Please see this article for detailed and up to date info.

F5 IP geolocation database migrated from Edge to the Pulse database

The update mentions a memory increase and also talks about installing the 3rd party City database.
When moving from Edge to the larger Pulse, is a memory increase required? or is the increase only required if/when adding the City database?

Good question - let me try to find out

Hi @TimRiker - following up, memory increase not required for the switch to Pulse. Memory increase is required for using the City database
