    Hi Mike,

    when i enable sslv3 on client ssl profile iam able to connect to vip
    This clearly means the client is coming in old ssl version.

    As you should know already.

           clientssl        serverssl
Client -----------> LTM ---------> Server

    So if your making change on the clientssl to allow sslv3, it means the client was coming in sslv3.

    Can you post here your cipher string?

    Can you execute this command on your bigip:

    tmm --clientciphers 'put your cipher string here'

    In the command, the cipher string must be between simple quote...

    The check if there is at least one cipher in both client hello packet and bigip clientssl profile
