# xt\_asn\_dl(1)

download ASN database files

## Name

xt\_asn\_dl — download ASN database files

## Syntax

*/usr/libexec/xt\_asn/***xt\_asn\_dl**

## Description

Downloads and unpacks the MaxMind ASN Lite databases for IPv4 and IPv6 and unpacks them to the current directory.

Since the script is usually installed to the libexec directory of the xtables-addons package and this is outside $PATH (on purpose), invoking the script requires it to be called with a path.

## Options

None.
