QuestionQ8

Apply procedural concepts required to modify and manage virtual servers

A web-server administrator tells the BIG-IP Administrator that the web servers are overloaded. Beginning next month, the BIG-IP device will terminate SSL to lower the web-server load. The BIG-IP device already uses a client SSL profile and HTTP-level iRules.

What actions should the BIG-IP Administrator take to implement the required configuration?

Explanation

SSL termination on BIG-IP requires a Client SSL profile to decrypt client HTTPS connections, allowing HTTP processing and HTTP-level iRules. A Server SSL profile re-encrypts traffic between BIG-IP and the pool members; removing it and configuring the pool members for HTTP sends clear-text traffic to the web servers, offloading their SSL processing.
