Yes, LTM is a default deny device. You either need to SNAT or NAT internal connections to an external IP address, or use a wildcard forwarding virtual server (0.0.0.0:0) to allow the traffic in and out. If any NetBIOS is involved the NAT/SNAT method probably won't work, so I tend to prefer the forwarding virtual method. When using that, the LTM's gateway will likely need a static route to the network behind LTM pointing to the LTM's external address (floating address for redundant pairs).
