DataScript - avi.utils.get_geo_from_ip

The DataScript function avi.utils.get_geo_from_ip is used to retrieve geolocation information , autonomous system (AS) number, country code, and location (latitude, longitude, region and city) of the queried IP address.

For more information on the geolocation database, refer to Geolocation Database.

• The VSDataScriptSet that contains the DataScript using this function must refer to Geolocation Database.
