Exact syntax for SSL ciphers

Hi,   Trying to help a coworker with an SSL Client profile request with custom ciphers. So far I have been able to see the ciphers supported on F5 but not the exact syntax when you configure them....
cipher
ciphersuites
LTM

The best thing to do - is view the ciphers that are currently in use via CLI.

 

How its displayed in the CLI (Bash) is how it should be put into the Client SSL Profile (I'm assuming that's where you want to disable them)

 

Alternatively the Client SSL profile also gives you options to do things the easy way like "Disable all SSL Ciphers" under the options section...

What Cipher do you want to use ? Ciphers are included in the version of OpenSSL that the BigIP is running.
