By default packing of any of the extended information in the datagram is disabled.
Confirm that extended information packing is enabled.

Important Points to Remember
To export extended-gateway data, BGP must learn the IP destination address.
If the IP destination address is not learned via BGP the Dell EMC Networking system does not export extended-gateway
data.
If the IP source address is learned via IGP, srcAS and srcPeerAS are zero.
The srcAS and srcPeerAS might be zero even though the IP source address is learned via BGP. The c system packs the
srcAS and srcPeerAS information only if the route is learned via BGP and it is reachable via the ingress interface of the
packet.
The sFlow sampling functionality is supported only for egress traffic and not for ingress traffic.
The previous points are summarized in following table.
