How to Configure a VIP where Backend is JDBC

Hello,

 

Please help me with some guideline as per below requirement.

 

How to configure a VIP in F5 that will have an Oracle Server at the backend and that its JDBC. JDBC Backend Server will listen on a Custom Port like 2488.

 

Client will connect to the database using SSL/TCPS. That means VIP has to listen on 443 ? And with this type of setup to secure the connection from Client to F5 , I need to add SSL Cert. Is it possible for this type of JDBC VIP ?

 

If I want to create a VIP based on the above requirement ,

 

-- What type of VIP I should Create ? Standard , Performance Layer 4 ( if I use this will not be able to use Cert )

 

-- Which iApp I can use ?

 

-- What will be the monitor type ?

 

-- Will it be SSL Bridging or SSL Offload ?

 

-- If SSL Bridging Same Client to F5 Cert should be installed at Backend Server ?
