NimbostratusSsl offloading
Can any one explain the ssl offloading elements of f5.
So there is client side ssl profile and server side ssl profile.
So the ssl client request will be terminated on f5 if client ssl profile is use...

NimbostratusYes both, or alternatively, neither of them. If you do not assign clientSSL nor serverSSL profiles, you will have what is called a SSL-passthrough setup. That way f5 does not interfere - could be an option if you just want to route the traffic through. Generally, I do not recommend SSL-passthrough due to lack of control (no advanced persistence methods, no possibility to overwrite headers, no possibility to inspect packet/request contents in general).
