[f-nsp] Management VRF and management port on ICX

[Wilbur Smith]

We just changed this behavior on ICX in the latest code release. Originally the management-vrf only supported VEs, but now you should be able to place both the management interface and a VE under the management-vrf.

    Hello,
    
    I wonder how management VRF and management port work together on ICX?
    
    On Netiron, you can configure management vrf and place the management 
    port in the management vrf.
    On ICX, you cannot set a VRF for the management port (vrf command not 
    available of the management port).
    The manual says:
    
    "When a management VRF is configured, the management traffic is allowed 
    through the ports belonging to the specified VRF and the out-of-band 
    management port. The management traffic through the ports belonging to 
    the other VRFs and the default VRF are dropped, and the rejection 
    statistics are incremented."
    
    The problem is, if the vrf does not contain any ports, it is down (the 
    management port doesn't count because it cannot be added with vrf command).
    I have created a loopback device bound to the management vrf to keep it up.
    However, the management port does not seem to be part of the VRF.
    Secondly, the system will only send out management packets on loopback1, 
    not on the management port.
    
    How do you address those problems?
