NOTE: For any prefix configured in vnf-manager, all packets destined to that prefix are sent to the global routing instance in Linux. If you are unable to ping the device from the branch’s routing instance, then ping the device from the global routing instance if the source/destination is in the vnf-manager list.


You can verify vnf-manager configuration via show configuration system vnf-manager
