摘要:
Some embodiments provide a method for providing a layer 2 (L2) bump-in-the-wire service at a gateway device (e.g., a layer 3 (L3) gateway device) at the edge of a logical network. The method, in some embodiments, establishes a connection from a first interface of the gateway device to a service node that provides the L2 service. The method also establishes a connection from a second interface of the gateway device to the L2 service node. The method then sends data messages received by the gateway device that require the L2 service to the service node using the first interface. Some embodiments provide a method for applying different policies at the service node for different tenants of a datacenter. Data messages received for a particular tenant that require the L2 service are encapsulated or marked as belonging to the tenant before being sent to the service node. Based on the encapsulation or marking, the service node provides the service according to policies defined for the tenant.
