You need a clientssl profile with the certificate and private key, to handle the encryption between the client and the F5 device. Then you just need the default serverssl profile, so the traffic is sent encrypted from the F5 to the server.

 

Unless you are validating the client (in this case F5) when talking with the server, the default serverssl profile is ok.
