The method of some embodiments allocates a secondary network interface for a pod, which has a primary network interface, in a container network operating on an underlying logical network. The method receives an ND that designates a network segment. The method receives the pod, wherein the pod includes an identifier of the ND. The method then creates a secondary network interface for the pod and connects the secondary network interface to the network segment. In some embodiments, the pods include multiple ND identifiers that each identify a network segment. The method of such embodiments creates multiple secondary network interfaces and attaches the multiple network segments to the multiple secondary network interfaces.
A method of allocating a secondary network interface for a pod with a primary network interface, the method comprising:
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program which when executed by at least one processing unit allocates a secondary network interface for a pod with a primary network interface, the program comprising sets of instructions for:
