Some embodiments provide a method for connecting a host machine to a management and control system (MCS) logical network. The method of some embodiments receives, at a managed forwarding element of the host machine, data that identifies a bootstrap agent. The method of some such embodiments receives this data once the host machine is booted up. The method connects to the agent to receive configuration data for the MCS logical network from the agent. The method uses the configuration data received from the agent to connect to the MCS logical network. After connecting to the MCS logical network, the method receives the necessary configuration data for at least one additional logical network (e.g., a guest logical network) from a set of control machines that is also connected to the MCS logical network.
A method for connecting to a management and control system (MCS) logical network, the method comprising:
A non-transitory machine readable medium of a host computer storing a program which when executed by at least one processing unit of the host computer connects the host computer to a management and control system (MCS) logical network, the program comprising sets of instructions for:
