A web server administrator informs the BIG-IP Administrator that web servers are overloaded Starting next month, the BIG-IP device will terminate SSL to reduce web server load. The BIG-IP device is re

Since the BIG-IP already uses a client SSL profile to terminate client-side SSL, the web server overload from SSL implies the BIG-IP is re-encrypting traffic to the servers (SSL bridging). Removing the server SSL profile tells the BIG-IP to send plain HTTP to the pool members, thus offloading SSL processing entirely from the web servers.

Removing the client SSL profile would cause the BIG-IP to stop terminating SSL from clients, preventing the desired SSL offloading at the BIG-IP.

Removing the client SSL profile (assuming 'chart' is a typo for client) would stop BIG-IP from terminating client SSL, and changing the Virtual Server to accept HTTP would mean clients connect via HTTP, which is not the typical goal of SSL offloading at the BIG-IP.

Changing the Virtual Server to accept HTTP traffic means clients would connect via HTTP, which is not the intent when BIG-IP is meant to terminate SSL from clients; only the backend connection to pool members should be HTTP.
