Support for EVPN Type 1 (Ethernet Segment) and 4 (Auto Discovery)

While the current EVPN implementation generates Type 1 (Auto Discovery) and Type 4 (Ethernet Segment) routes in multi-homing/MLAG topologies running BGP auto-peering, these routes are not actually used in route selection and designated forwarder election. However, for completeness the following BGP show commands have been enhanced to include these route types to support future implementation.

Supported Platforms

Summit X450-G2, X460-G2, X670-G2, and ExtremeSwitching X465, X590, X690, X870 series switches.
