set routing-instances mgmt_junos routing-options static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 192.168.10.3

3. Configure IPv4 for 192.168.0.0/16 range to Null interface (e.g. for BGP advertisement)

set routing-options static route 192.168.0.0/16 discard

4. .Configure IPv6 default route to next hop fdff:13aa:8bbb:0:192:168:10:3

set routing-options rib inet6.0 static route ::/0  next-hop fdff:13aa:8bbb:0:192:168:10:3

5. Configure IPv6 for fdff:13aa::/48 range to Null interface (e.g. for BGP advertisement)
