Your virtual server is configured for SSL passthrough. You're passing through the SSL connection to the pool members without terminating on your F5.

 

DevCentral has plenty of examples of SSL passthrough/bridging/offloading.

My scenerio actually not pass through, rather ssl offload, client to F5 is https port 443, and from F5 to server is http. My question is there any default certificate is being used during communication between F5 and client ?
