EDGE DEVICE IMPLANTING A LOGICAL NETWORK THAT SPANS ACROSS MULTIPLE ROUTING TABLES

Abstract: some embodiments provide a method for configuring an edge computing device to implement a logical router belonging to a logical network. the method configures a datapath executing on the edge computing device to use a first routing table associated with the logical router for processing data messages routed to the logical router. the method configures a routing protocol application executing on the edge computing device to (i) use the first routing table for exchanging routes with a network external to the logical network and (ii) use a second routing table for exchanging routes with other edge computing devices that implement the logical router.
