Hi mohammadhuq 

If you want to decrypt traffic on the F5 vServer then you need to configure SSL profiles on the vServer.

In case, if your vServer is on https and backend server is running non-secured port ( e.g. http) then you need to configure only client ssl profile.

In case your vServer as well as backend server is running on secured port e.g. 443, then you need to configure client as well as server ssl profile so vServer can decrypt & encrypt both side connection flows.

To know about SSL profiles, please refer below articles.

Hope it helps!
