    Yes this is possible and a common configuration.

    If you want to terminate SSL on the VIP make sure you have an HTTP profile and a client SSL profile.

    You do not need to do anything special for HTTP to the backend, just add the TCP/80 pool members to your pool as normal.

You can use the default one but I would always advise creating a new one using the default ‘http’ profile as a parent, even if you don’t add any additional settings.

 

That way, if you need to change it in the future, you don’t affect other VIPs that use the same profile.
