HTTP/2 Profile and pool port 80

Hi community,

 

i have a specific question about http/2 and hope someone can help me.

 

In our environment we are using ltm with ssl offloading an asm. The SSL traffic is offloaded on the F5 and sendet to a web server (port 80). On the web server only port 80 is configured.

 

We would like to enable the http/2 profile but still use pool with port 80. In the official guide https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm-implementations-12-0-0/22.html the port for the pool has to be set to 443.

 

Is it possible to use a pool with port 80 and http/2 profile?

 

--> VIP (443, http/2 profile) --> ssl offloading --> pool (port 80)

 

  • Your pool can be HTTP (port 80)

     

    There is (currently) no server-side HTTP/2 on the BigIP, so all server-side requests are HTTP/1.1
