Nimbostratusv10.2.0 Upgrade, results in Virtual Server Failure
Hey Everybody,
I am quite familiar with v9, but recently upgrade my Model / Integration F5's from v9.4.3 to v10.2.0 (large jump I know).
I know that some of the features with the iRules have changed, but what I am experiencing is at the Virtual Server level.
Does anyone know what could affect a base virtual server to fail after an upgrade? Something in the default profiles that has changed to a degree to cause this?

Found the issue.
The Problem I was having was related to the serverssl profiles on the v10.x.x. The default Ciphers have now been upgraded to drop all weak encryption.
The application I was working with used a Self-Signed SSL Certificate that had weak encryption so all of the traffic was being dropped.
Default Profile - serverssl - Has increased Ciphers. See the Solution below to see the defaults:

Default Profile - serverssl-insecure-compatible - Will allow the traffic with weak encryption to pass through (I would only suggest using it until you can get it fixed / replaced). You can see additional information about it here:

Hi Michael, I was also impacted by this change:

Our clients would only accept ciphers based on the MD5 hash which was removed in 10.2.0. I had to add them back into the Client SSL Profile.
