I'm assuming you also don't want the F5 to handle any of the SSL traffic (as in decrypt client side SSL and re-encrypt to the server). Of so, then you want to make sure that:

 

  1. You do not have client and server SSL profiles applied to the virtual server

     

  2. You do not have any application layer profiles applied to the virtual server (ex. an HTTP profile)

     

Without HTTP and SSL profiles applied to the VIP, the virtual server becomes nothing more than a layer 4 (TCP) load balancer.
