This is my diagram:
As vQFXs does not need mpls, so no inet.3 table. 00:05:86:71:91:05 is 10.150.10.220
From bgp.evpn.0 table I have two type 2 entries, one is hidden, one is OK as follows:
OK

From 10.150.10.200, I can ping 10.150.10.1
root@PE1-PE2# run ping 10.150.10.1 routing-instance test-server
PING 10.150.10.1 (10.150.10.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.150.10.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1860.971 ms
My understanding is the OK one is learned from EVPN/vxlan overlay (64534), the the hidden one is learned from EVPN/MPLS (64511), right ?
Can I ignore these hidden routes?
I do not want to get panic for those hidden routes, anyway to resolve this ?
thanks so so so much !!

a. The Address field in the show route command is not the next hop, instead what you should be looking is the Protocol Next-Hop, which in this case is 192.168.1.44.
b. Remember that if you can have reachability towards the next-hop with a ping, this does not mean that the next-hop can be used for recursion, you need to validate whether the application using the Protocol Next-hop is an MPLS application or not and if it is, check if this exists in the inet.3 table. Does it in this case? Check the show route table inet.3 <PNH>.

Anyone can help me to understand where I need to check for Next hop issue?
