Calico cannot advertise routes to BIG-IP through BGP

Hi. I setup BIG-IP as a usual, but I got some unfamiliar error and I recognized Calico cannot advertise its routes to BIG-IP.

In BIG-IP, I found error log like `Open Cap: IgnoringVendor specific capability, code 70 len 0` (code is either 69 or 70). BGP itself seems to be established because `sudo calicoctl node status` on kubernetes master node returns `[BIG-IP Internal IP] | global            | up    | 09:32:57   | Established ` and `show ip bgp neighbors` on BIG-IP terminal returns `BGP state = Established, up for ...`. But on BIG-IP, there are also `BGP connection is non shared network` messages left.

I tried to ping to kubernetes master node. It returned correct response. From master node to BIG-IP also returned correct. So, I have no idea why Calico cannot advertise routes.

I used this procedure (https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K14436300). Our BIG-IP version is 14.1.0, and k8s-bigip-ctlr version is 1.10.0. Using kubernetes version 1.13.1 with Calico v3.7.5. Does anyone have an idea what I should try to do or confirm to?

    This caused by my stupid mistake(internal IP's netmask was wrong).
