Hi Jenn,
I verified this with TAC and they confirmed that all that message says is that gateway's IPToCountry.csv file contains more ranges that what kernel parameter sllows, so its totally safe to change it to something higher, no issues.
Here is an example in my lab:
[Expert@CP-GW:0]# fw ctl get int geo_max_ip_ranges
geo_max_ip_ranges = 300000
[Expert@CP-GW:0]# fw ctl set -f int geo_max_ip_ranges 500000
"fwkern.conf" was updated successfully
[Expert@CP-GW:0]# more /opt/CPsuite-R82/fw1/boot/modules/fwkern.conf
sip_forward_if_needed=1
geo_max_ip_ranges=500000
[Expert@CP-GW:0]#
