(SOL9347) TopicAlthough you cannot currently configure the BIG-IP LTM to terminate FTPS connections and offload SSL processing, you can configure the BIG-IP LTM to load balance FTPS traffic using passthrough encryption.FTP mechanics and the challenge of load balancing FTPSThe data connection for a passive FTP transfer is established inbound by the client to a destination port chosen and communicated to the client by the FTP server. The data connection for an active FTP transfer is established outbound by

(SOL15062) Topic You should consider using this procedure under the following condition: You want to associate multipleSecure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate/key pair types with an SSL profile. DescriptionStarting in BIG-IP 11.5.0, you can associate multiple SSL certificate/key pair types with a single SSL profile. This configuration allows the virtual server to accept SSL connections from clients supporting newer cryptographic algorithms (such as ECC), while continuing to accept connections from client
