Busy getting to understand some stuff with the SDN EVPN zone, and I notice it generates 2x sets of VxLAN-bridge pairs.

What is the motivation and reason/use for that extra pair named vrf_.....?
If it is not used in my case, is there perhaps a switch to turn it off/disable it?

Reason I'm asking is that you can't create VLAN tags on the VNETs in the EPVN and well.. *my* setup I don't use the PVE nodes as "Exit-nodes" but I have another layer (that has the outside routing) where the internal firewalls (again, not using in my case the PVE firewall as I'm using another OEN firewall VM)
