NimbostratusPort Translation/Irule query
Hello Team,
My VS is listening to port no.80 and backend servers are listening on port no.443.
Port translation is enabled.
Do I need to use the irule to redirect the HTTP request on VS to...

NimbostratusYou don't have to use iRule to redirect from http to https. Port translation will do it. however you will have to use serverssl profile to allow encrypted session between F5 and server.
This is my thinking not sure F5 experts thinks elsewise.

NacreousHi - Port translation is sufficient for PAT to work from port 80 to 443. As mentioned above, if the serverside connection is encrypted for the 443 traffic then you'll need a serverssl profile configured.
If you wanted your clients to connect on 443 rather than 80, then you would need the redirect irule to switch the clientside connection to 443
