Geolocation database (GeoDB) updates

The geolocation database (GeoDB) maps IP addresses to geographic locations so that you can view and filter traffic by location.

GeoDB versions

We periodically release GeoDB updates. Each update replaces the previous version.

Scheduled GeoDB updates

Initial configuration schedules weekly updates to keep geolocation information accurate. Review the schedule and adjust it as needed. Refer to Schedule GeoDB updates.

Deployment after GeoDB updates

The Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center automatically updates the GeoDB on managed devices, so deploy is usually unnecessary. If an update adds a new country, which is rare, deploy configuration changes as soon as possible. This allows the new country to count as part of its continent. For example, if an update adds Country to Continent, rules that filter based on "Continent" do not match traffic through Country until you deploy.
