    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for configuring a set of logical routers in a logical network. The method receives a configuration of an advertised route for a first logical router and a set of allowable routes for a second logical router to which the first logical router connects. The method determines whether the set of allowable routes for the second logical router includes the advertised route as an allowed route from the first logical router. Only when the advertised route is an allowed route from the first logical router, the method adds the advertised route to a routing table for at least one component of the second logical router.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for configuring a logical router to exchange routing data with a neighboring router through a dynamic routing protocol. The logical router is implemented as multiple routing components. The method receives identification data for the neighboring router with which to peer the logical router. Based on the identification data, the method identifies a subset of the routing components to peer with the neighboring router. The method generates configuration data for each routing component in the identified subset. Each identified routing component uses the configuration data to exchange routing data with the neighboring router through the dynamic routing protocol.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for implementing a logical router (LR) in a logical network. The method receives configuration data connecting a first LR to a second LR, which includes several logical routing components with separate routing tables. For each of one or more routes configured for the first LR, the method adds a route to the routing table of a distributed routing component of the second LR. The added route has a next hop address of an interface of the first LR. The method also adds, for each of the one or more routes configured for the first LR, a route to the routing tables of each of one or more centralized routing components of the second LR. The next hop address of the added route is an address of an interface of the distributed routing component that is internal to the second LR.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method or tool for automatically configuring a logical router on one or more edge nodes of an edge cluster (e.g., in a hosting system such as a datacenter). The method of some embodiments configures the logical router on the edge nodes based on a configuration policy that dictates the selection method of the edge nodes. In some embodiments, an edge cluster includes several edge nodes (e.g., gateway machines), through which one or more logical networks connect to external networks (e.g., external logical and/or physical networks). In some embodiments, the configured logical router connects a logical network to an external network through the edge nodes.
