Hi Thiyagu,

 

If you do not install certificate/key on LTM device, F5 will not encrypt/decrypt the traffic and instead just forward the traffic to back end server.

 

ClientSSL profile: Used to decrypt client end traffic Server SSL profile: Provides the ability to F5 to re-initiate SSL connection to the backend server

 

Running the commands provided by Kevin is the quickest way to complete the setup.
