performance layer 4 VIP with http profile

I just want to check one thing, in performance layer 4 VIP if I map http profile and enable x-forwarder option can we manipulate the HTTP data like, original client IP will be visible to the user?

    Hello,

    ​

    Layer​ 4 virtual server with http profile gives you limited functionality only. with this, It can't modify http header so x-forwarder will not work.

    Hope it helps!

    Configure a Standard Virtual Server and assign a HTTP profile to insert x-forwarded for header so that back-end server/pool members can get to know actual Client IP
