The exhibit showed the virtual server SSH-Virtual-1 on port 22 with the HTTP profile set to "http". That profile makes BIG-IP parse the traffic as HTTP. SSH is not HTTP, so the SSH handshake doesn't match what the profile expects, and the connection fails or is reset. Setting the HTTP profile to None lets BIG-IP pass the SSH traffic through as plain TCP.
