Hello,

it is mainly based on assigning HTTP profile plus the TCP profile or not

If you assigned HTTP Profile, It will be layer7 virtual server and F5 can inspect Data up to layer 7 if it is http based or after decrypting traffic if it is HTTPS data.

If you did not assigned HTTP profile, It will be layer4 virtual server.
