Geolocation Menu
Alteon includes the GeoLite2 City database of users and IP addresses from MaxMind. The geographical location database feature requires the Perform subscription license. You can update the geolocation database automatically (enabled by default) or manually. When updated automatically, Alteon contacts Radware portal once a month to download the updated database.
Note: During the geographic location database update, you may notice that CPU usage on the MP can be quite high. This update is likely the cause of high MP CPU utilization. Corresponding log messages provide information such as the amount of CPU that has been used.

For appliances running in VX mode, the geolocation database is maintained at the VX level and relevant to all vADCs. Automatic updates are performed via the management port.

For Alteon VA and appliances running in standalone mode, the communication with the Radware portal takes place via the same port type (data or management) set for DNS communication (data port by default).
Alteon also supports the MaxMind ISP-based geographical location database. The ISP database is not included in the Perform subscription. You need to purchase the database directly from MaxMind and manually import it to Alteon to be able to use it (no automatic update).
