This is as designed. This is for a number of reasons of which security
and protection of the Routing Engine being the most critical.
Allowing routing to the management port would mean that data from the
network interfaces would have to be directed over the same connection as
used by the RE to send and receive control traffic.
Allowing external access to your management network which is normally
connected to or part of your corporate network is always a risk not
worth taking.
