SLX EVPN NoNeg meaning

I am configureing an ip Fabric using SLX’s as Spines and VDX, SLX, QFX(Juniper), and 7280R(Arista) as the leafs. I am seeing something which i am unsure of, when i look at the EVPN neighbors i see something that only relates to the Junipers and Aristas, it is a ā€˜NoNeg’ statement:

  Neighbor Address  AS#         State     Time     Rt:Accepted Filtered Sent     ToSend
  10.0.0.1        4290000001  ESTAB   18h49m33s     1        0        9        0        
  10.0.0.2        4290000002  ESTAB   18h49m31s     1        0        9        0        
  10.0.0.3        4290000003  ESTAB   18h49m26s     1        0        9        0        
  10.0.0.4        4290000004  ESTAB   18h49m26s     1        0        9        0        
  10.0.0.5        4290000005  ESTAB   0h44m44s      0        0        0        9(NoNeg)
  10.0.0.6        4290000006  ESTAB   0h10m59s      0        0        0        9(NoNeg)
  10.0.0.7        4290000007  ESTAB   0h11m35s      0        0        0        9(NoNeg)
  10.0.0.8        4290000008  ESTAB   0h11m35s      0        0        0        9(NoNeg)

The Aristas and Junipers begin from 10.0.0.5 - 10.0.0.8  , i do not see this issue with the VDX and SLX.

Hello Michael, i tried clearing the neighbors both in the EVPN and IPv4 address family and i still see the same thing. These neighbors are correctly configured under the EVPN family tree, is there some log that i can see from the SLX as to why it is non-negotiating with non Extreme devices?

Edit:

When i do a ā€œshow bgp evpn summaryā€ i do not see the NoNeg statement:

From what I can see internally regarding that message, it appears that No Negotiation is taking place.

Did you try ā€œclear bgp evpn neiā€ against these particular neighbors?

Also, this can be due to a configuration issue.  Can you please verify that these neighbors/peer group are correctly activated under the evpn address family?
