Using v13 Default Cipher in v12

Question

Hello,&nbsp;
im curious if I should use Default Ciphers from the newest BIG-IP version 13 for my F5, using 12.1.0 HF2.
Cause the Default Ciphers in v13 are defined by new standards I assume.&nbsp;
Does this way of thinking make sense for you?&nbsp;
Greetings and thanks for your advice,
Maximilian Martin&nbsp;

Hello,&nbsp;
It really depends on what you want to achieve. Here you can find information about what default ciphers are used in the different versions(11-13). https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K13156&nbsp;
Regards&nbsp;

Normally we don't upgrade ciphers unless we upgrade bip ip version, because we think it is good idea align version and default ciphers. &nbsp;
