Feb 02, 2026SSL cipher
Hi guys
TLS is weird.
Why is this behavior happening?
The server that receives the client hello sends an alert.

Feb 02, 2026It's as follows:
ltm profile server-ssl /Common/aaa_SSL_Server_Profile {
app-service none
defaults-from /Common/serverssl
options { dont-insert-empty-fragments no-tlsv1.1 no-tlsv1.2 no-sslv3 }
}
I don't know anything about the server-side configuration other than that it only supports TLS 1.0.
The above is a TCP packet dump. Do you know what causes these packets to appear?
