DES-CBC3-SHA listed as 192 bits but SSL Labs reports as 112 bit
In the table here under the BIG-IP 11.5.0 - 11.5.2 section it lists the DES-CBC3-SHA ciphers as 192 bits. However a SSL Labs scan will report the following: TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA (0xa)112 [bits] I'm not a crypto-nerd but if I read this explanation correctly that particular cipher has an effective security of 112 bits but if the encryption is achieved by using 3 56 bit keys (3 X 56 = 168) why is F5 reporting 192 bits?
big3d err with different versions of bigip
Hey guys, Have a bunch of gtms that run sites as stand alones. 2 at each. At one site I have 11.5.1 hf7 the other site 11.4.1 hf3. I havent had to build out any wideips since we upgraded the one site. I had to build one out the other day and noticed that I was only able to add the vips to the gtm pool at the one site that has the 11.5.1 hf7 version on it. And noticed that it did propagate the changes to the other site gtms. I am also getting inconsistent ping and lookups on the application also. I am also getting "no reply big3d timed out on the vip when I hover over it". This vip is on the ltm at the other site which is the same site that has the 11.4.1 hf3 gtm. Could the cause of this be that I am running different versions at the two sites thus the reason for it not propagating to all sites ?
