otsokume,

You should expect a ServerHello message after a ClientHello - the fact that you're getting a reset suggests that the cipher suites being offered by the client are not applicable on the F5 via the Client SSL Profile. I assume you've configured a Client SSL Profile and assigned this to the Virtual Server? What is the cipher string configuration on the Client SSL Profile?

You can check what ciphers are supported based on the cipher string in your profile. If you go to the CLI and run this: 

tmm --clientciphers 'DEFAULT
' this should output all the ciphers (should you be using the DEFAULT cipher string of course. If you've amended this then amend the command aswell.

Your clienthello suggests these two cipher suites are supported only "ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384" and "ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256" - so you need to verify your SSL profile.

Hope this helps,
