Hi Mohamed_Ahmed_Kansoh 

Thank you for explanation. I now understand F5 doesn't need to import root self-sign certificate of server into F5.

Can I ask one more question?

What happen if server IP 10.10.10.10 but they have certificate name different (not 10.10.10.10) ?  .... eg. CN is server hostname or have CN as ip 192.168.1.1 

Will F5 still ignore trust certificate and everything still working fine?
