Some embodiments provide a method of operating several logical networks over a network virtualization infrastructure. The method defines a managed physical switching element (MPSE) that includes several ports for forwarding packets to and from a plurality of virtual machines. Each port is associated with a unique media access control (MAC) address. The method defines several managed physical routing elements (MPREs) for the several different logical networks. Each MPRE is for receiving data packets from a same port of the MPSE. Each MPRE is defined for a different logical network and for routing data packets between different segments of the logical network. The method provides the defined MPSE and the defined plurality of MPREs to a plurality of host machines as configuration data.
A method for configuring a plurality of host computers to implement a logical router for a logical network, the method comprising:
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program which when executed by at least one processing unit configures a plurality of host computers to implement a logical router for a logical network, the program comprising set of instructions for:
