[j-nsp] Addressing fxp0

[Richmond, Jeff (ELI)]

Umm, shouldn't that be:

routing-instance OOB instance-type vrf

instead of interface-type l3vpn

just put your fxp0 in a specific VRF (L3VPN).

routing-instance {
  OOB {
interface-type l3vpn
   interface fxp0.0
      routing-options {
         static {
            route 0/0 next-hop <OOB-IP-GW>

It should work
