Hi Ajit, Serverssl profile will help you to configure the ssl connection on the server side. The important thing to keep in mind is that on the server side the big-ip acts as a client for the backend servers (and so they able to manage ssl).By default, the default serverssl profile cover 90% of the cases. This changes when you need to present a specific certificate+key to the backend servers or you need to configure ssl forward for example. If recommend you to have a look to this solution article as it explains the serverssl profiles in detail: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/14000/800/sol14806.html
