Haven't built this out in the lab but the procedure should work:

 

  1. Create a virtual server that listens on all ports (e.g. 10.1.0.1:0)
  2. Assign an http profile to the virtual server
  3. Configure SSL termination on the virtual server (clientside is mandatory. serverside is optional depending on the backend pool members)
  4. Create an http-to-https profile or iRule that redirects http traffic to https

Let me know if you need additional detail on any of these steps.
