Hello All

We have a VDX6740 switches. There is a BGP EVPN session with third-party switches. Everything works fine, but there is a problem with some routes.
Why are routes with a sticky MAC not installed in FIB?

This route is installed in FIB:

Prefix: MAC:[3000030][00c0.b75a.0cb1], Status: BE, Age: 0h57m18s
NEXT_HOP: 10.32.0.23, Learned from Peer: 10.32.1.1 (65020)
LOCAL_PREF: 100, MED: none, ORIGIN: igp, Weight: 0
AS_PATH: 65002
Extended Community: RT 65000:3000030 RT 65002:1 ExtCom:03:0c:00:00:00:00:00:08 ExtCom:06:00:00:00:00:00:00:01

And this one is not:

Hello, thank you for providing those details. I ran this past some of our engineers and they requested that you open a support case for this question so we can dig in to this a little further with you. If you can go to the Portal and open a case, they can take it from there.
