what route types are supposed to be contained in __default_evpn__.evpn.0: ?

  • 1.  what route types are supposed to be contained in __default_evpn__.evpn.0: ?

    I am learning the different evpn route table, I have a question about __default_evpn__.evpn.0. I came across the following from here:

    __default_evpn__.evpn.0: used for carrying MP-BGP information about ethernet segment routes.  This is only applicable for PE that have non default ESI [ie, multihomed CE].  All EVPN NLRI Type 4 routes are also stored in the secondary __default_evpn__.evpn.0 table since they do not contain a Route Target community that corresponds to any specific EVI.

    __default_evpn__.evpn.0: 3 destinations, 3 routes (3 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
    1:143.235.32.106:0::0700000000000000::FFFF:FFFF/304 (1 entry, 1 announced)
            *EVPN   Preference: 170
                    Task: __default_evpn__-evpn
                    Announcement bits (1): 1-BGP_RT_Background 
                    Communities: target:65010:700 esi-label:single-active (label 0)
    
    4:143.235.32.38:0::0700000000000000:143.235.32.38/304 (1 entry, 1 announced)
            *BGP    Preference: 170/-101
                    Route Distinguisher: 143.235.32.38:0

    ​

    Does __default_evpn__.evpn.0 only contain type 1 and type 4 route types ?

    I have only vMX which is not stable. Sometimes I can see type 2 and type 3, sometimes I do not see any entries.  (I do not have multi-home configured)
    In QFX10008, I do not see any entries as follows:

    root@evpn> show bgp summary
    Threading mode: BGP I/O
    Groups: 5 Peers: 5 Down peers: 0

      default-switch.evpn.0: 221/221/221/0
      __default_evpn__.evpn.0: 0/0/0/0
    

    Anyone can clarify this for me ?

    thanks !!
