• The issue is reported with EX4600 switch
• The switch is configured with REST-API, and the functionality works when the configuration is part of global instance
• When REST-API configuration is associated to instance mgmt_junos, it doesn't work

• REST-API will not work
• TCP port will not be created while its associated with mgmt_Junos
• Free BSD6

As per the feedback received from Engineering team, the switches that run Free BSD6 doesn’t include a setfib utility required for permitting process or commands to use a specific routing table apart from the default ones.

So the REST-API doesn't work when associated with mgmt_junos. This is a limitation with Free BSD6.
