Hello,

Based on the below answer in this link, the port translation is the only mandatory option to allow traffic on different pool members ports.

you can check the pool statistics and see whether F5 is sending traffic to this pool member *80* or no traffic is sent at all. Also, try adding the pool member 80 alone and use this pool and check whether it is going to work or not. if it didn't work, check the backend server itself and try to access it directly.
