Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for implementing a logical router in a logical network. In some embodiments, the method receives a configuration of a static route for the logical router, which includes several routing components with separate routing tables. The method identifies which of the routing components require addition of a route to a corresponding routing table to implement the configuration of the static route. The method adds the routes to the corresponding separate routing tables of the identified routing components.

1-21. (canceled)
A method for implementing a logical router in a logical network, the method comprising:
- receiving a configuration of a static route for the logical router, wherein the logical router comprises (i) a distributed routing component that interfaces with other logical forwarding elements to process data traffic internal to the logical network and (ii) one or more centralized routing components that interface with an external physical network to process data traffic between the logical network and the external physical network, wherein the distributed routing component and each of the centralized routing components have separate routing tables;
- identifying which of the routing components require addition of a route to a corresponding routing table to implement the configuration of the static route;
- and
- adding routes for the static route to the corresponding separate routing tables of each of the identified routing components.
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a controller which when executed by at least one processing unit implements a logical router in a logical network, the controller comprising sets of instructions for:
- receiving a configuration of a static route for the logical router, wherein the logical router comprises (i) a distributed routing component that interfaces with other logical forwarding elements to process data traffic internal to the logical network and (ii) one or more centralized routing components that interface with an external physical network to process data traffic between the logical network and the external physical network, wherein the distributed routing component and each of the centralized routing components have separate routing tables;
- identifying which of the routing components require addition of a route to a corresponding routing table to implement the configuration of the static route;
- and
- adding routes for the static route to the corresponding separate routing tables of each of the identified routing components.
