Hi Everyone, thanks for your fast replies. Apologies for my delayed response. What I am referring to is best referenced here: https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/dhe-key-exchange-why-is-ephemeral-key-only-1024bit-long Below I have included sslscans on 2 volumes on my lab. The first shows the Volume running BIG IP Ver11.6 with HF6 installed. The second shows a volume with BIG IP Ver12.1 with HF1 installed. Both volumes are the standard setup without alteration of any ciphers on my behalf.

On the first volume (11.6 + HF6) we see the 'DHE 1024bits' while in the second (12.1 + HF1) this is replaced with 'Curve P-256 DHE 256'.

The reason for my interest on this is that DHE 1024 was identified by a third party in our environment on the F5s as something to address. None of our apps support DHE ciphers.
