the f5 config depends on how your wafs are configured because some waf can work in L2 inline/bridge, L3 route or L4-L7 reverse proxy modes.
you need to configure f5 accordingly.
f5 vserver can loadbalance backend nodes in all above modes.

    My WAFs are working in L7 reverse proxy mode, Since we have a large number of https sites and the SSL of these sites is terminated on these WAFs, I want to finally perform load balancing on layer 4 because I don't want to get involved with SSL, so i have configured an performance (Layer 4) virtual server but i have issues with https sites and sometimes i get an SSL error.

    Do you have a good solution for this issue?
