Does LTM support external GeoIP Database?

Does LTM support external GeoIP Database? We want to use the GeoIP Database from MaxMind which provides Database in .csv. What is the information and format of GeoIP Database in LTM?

    F5 uses 3rd party GeoIP Database called Digital Element which doesn't have support for city level information as of now and is under development, ID:419451. I sorted out my problem by using GeoIP Database from company called neustar and it is working fine.

     

    Thanks

    I don't think external geoip-db are supported. Check this for information on geoip files.

      @RaghavendraSY: Once GeoIP Database is updated to latest version, only three .dat files are available: F5GeoIPISPv2.dat F5GeoIPOrgv2.dat F5GeoIPRegion2v2.dat

       

      and no city level .dat is available. Did you try upgrading the database and could still see the city level information?
