config load-balance geoip-list

config load-balance geoip-list

Use this command to configure the Geo IP address block list.

The FortiGuard Geo IP service provides a database that maps IP addresses to countries, satellite providers, and anonymous proxies. The database is updated periodically.

The Geo IP block list is a policy that takes the action you specify when the virtual server receives requests from IP addresses in the blocked country’s IP address space.

For Layer 4 virtual servers, FortiADC blocks access when the first TCP SYN packet arrives. For Layer 7 virtual servers, FortiADC blocks access after the handshake, allowing it to redirect the traffic if you have configured it to do so.

Basic Steps
  1. Configure the connection to FortiGuard so the system can receive periodic Geo IP Database updates.
  2. Create rules to block traffic from locations.
  3. Maintain a allowlist to allow traffic from specified subnets even if they belong to the address space blocked by the Geo IP block list.
  4. Select the Geo IP block list and allowlist in the profiles you associate with virtual servers.

Before you begin:

  • You must have read-write permission for load balancing settings.

Syntax

config load-balance geoip-list

edit <name>

set action {deny | pass | redirect | send-403-forbidden}

set log {enable|disable}

set severity {high | low | medium}

set status {enable|disable}

config geoip-member

edit <No.>

set region-list <country-code>

next

next

end

action

  • Pass
  • Deny
  • Redirect (you can specify a redirect URL in the virtual server configuration)
  • Send 403 Forbidden

Note: Layer 4 and TCPS virtual servers do not support Redirect or Send 403 Forbidden. If you apply a configuration that uses these options to a Layer 4 or TCPS virtual server, FortiADC logs the action as Redirect or Send 403 Forbidden, but in fact denies the traffic.

log

Enable/disable logging.

severity

The severity to apply to the event. Severity is useful when you filter and sort logs:

  • low
  • medium
  • high

status

Enable/disable the list.

config geoip-member

region-list

Specify a geolocation object. Type ? to see a list. The list includes countries as well as selections for anonymous proxies and satellite providers.
