AltocumulusSSL Bridging meaning?
I want to confirm context usage of SSL Bridging. Does it mean:
1. SSL pass-thru
2. SSL terminates on the F-5 and then re-encrypts using serverssl?
Im trying to understand what customers and others refer to when they say that specific comment. I thought bridging was just another way of saying pass-thru...

Number one is my understanding. SSL bridging would just be passing the session through rather than breaking the SSL.

I got screened out of a job once because I had never used the term, but it is actually number 2. I was totally familiar with the concept. Just drew a blank when I heard it as we rarely use it. I know what the term means now though ;-D

- Cory_50405You learn something new every day. This runs contrary to what I always thought, just based on the nature of a bridge.
fubarSUSHIThanks. I also thought the same thing as Cory. I appreciate the link too.
- Christopher_BooNo problem! I've been managing LTMs for awhile now, but just now pursuing certs. I'm still finding plenty of things I didn't know :) I think that job is still open if you want to work in Charlotte, NC. You now know you will make it further through the screening process than I did. Ha! Chris
- fubarSUSHILol. Im also on the path of certs. NC though... its a tough sale especially with all the snow. lol Im west coast thru-n-thru!
- Christopher_BooI hear ya. I'm in Florida. I look at job postings in Atlanta and I just think to myself "I really need to move to Atlanta". But then I drive through on a nice, sunny day and traffic is some of the worst I've ever seen. I can't imagine commuting in that mess with snow and ice. Good luck with your certs! There is a great F5 Certification Group on Linkedin. A couple of the study guides posted there have really helped me. I've passed 101 and 201 within the last couple weeks. Now studying for 301a. Hopefully my scores don't get any worse;-D Chris
