Default gateway management interface

Dear Network Engineers,

There is something I don’t get here and was hoping if someone could help me understand. For a firewall, in my case a Palo Alto FW, Is the default gateway for a management interface a physical router ? Or is that IP of a logical router within the firewall that just directs traffic out of a data port ? I am asking because I am currently troubleshooting a management service (ping/ssh/snmp) connection where the route to the destination is in place and bytes are being sent , but I believe this specific connection does not have a way back as bytes are not being written back. Trying to determine if it’s a firewall or R/S issue.
