SSL Offload & Termination: Since the BIG-IP device will now take over SSL termination to reduce the workload on the web servers, the traffic between the BIG-IP and the backend pool members will no longer be encrypted. Server SSL Profile: The server SSL profile (which handles encryption from the BIG-IP to the backend servers) is no longer required and should be removed. Pool Members Configuration: Because the web servers are offloading SSL, the pool members must be configured to process standard, unencrypted HTTP traffic
