Each L7 Virtual Service has the capability of being transparent or non-transparent. If the service is an L7 service, whether it is using some of the L7 handling features, or if it is forced, the following check box will appear in the Standard Options section of the Virtual Service modify screen.

This check box governs the transparency setting for the specific Virtual Service. When it is ticked, transparency is enabled.

Even if transparency is disabled in the LoadMaster configuration, Layer 4 traffic is always transparent.
