Hi Ashish,

Are you doing SSL interception on your F5 box? If not, I guess captures will show you the SSL handshake and not much more useful data. And also be aware that, if the F5 box is not involved in the SSL transaction, the negotiation is stricly between the client and end server.

Anyway, you mentioned two things that will need further clarification:

1. iRule to redirect traffic to port 22.
Why? Just configure your pool members with port 22. No need for an iRule there, unless I'm not seeing the full picture. [Just re-read it... forward proxy, so no pool, right? Forget this one...]

2. Security patch on the server side.
Did the F5 Virtual Server ever work before that patch was applied?

BR,
Mike
