Hello,

 

Connection limit that you want to put on F5 is specific to Virtual Server, Pool or Node. Now in your case, you want to put it on VS. In this case, no need of making any changes on backend servers. With connection limit settings on VS, F5 will just limit incoming connections as per configuration done.

 

Hope it helps!
