There must have been some object in the 9.1.2 config that was used to allow outbound access. LTM is a default deny device so no traffic would pass through without a VIP, SNAT or NAT to do it. You can configure one or more of these objects to allow outbound access. A wildcard virtual server with destination address translation disabled would be the most configurable. You can set it to forward if you want to use the routing table or you can specify a gateway pool if you have multiple routers. You can check the LTM config guide on AskF5.com for more information.
