Schedule Weekly GeoDB Updates
The Cisco Geolocation Database (GeoDB) is a database of geographical data (such as country, city, coordinates)
and connection-related data (such as Internet service provider, domain name, connection type) associated with
routable IP addresses. When your system detects GeoDB information that matches a detected IP address, you
can view the geolocation information associated with that IP address.
You must install the GeoDB on your system to view any geolocation details other than country or continent.
Cisco issues periodic updates to the GeoDB; to optimize accuracy of GeoDB lookups we recommend you
always use the latest GeoDB update on your system.
Before you begin
Make sure the FMC can access the internet.
