ssl bridging vs ssl offloading

Hi guys

 

What is the difference between ssl bridging and ssl offloading? Thanks

  • SSL Offloading terminates SSL at the F5 and the server side traffic is non-encrypted. SSL Bridging terminates SSL at the F5 and then re-encrypts traffic on the server side by initiating a new SSL connection between the F5 and the Server.

     

  • clientssl profile and no serverssl profile on the VS = SSL Offloading

     

    clientssl profile and serverssl profile on the VS = SSL Bridging
