1. A method for using a managed hardware forwarding element (MHFE) to perform packet forwarding operations for a logical network, the method comprising:
receiving, at the MHFE, configuration data for the logical network that defines a logical router and a set of logical switches for logically connecting a plurality of end machines operating on a plurality of host machines to a plurality of physical machines that are connected to the MHFE, the logical router comprising a plurality of routing components; receiving, at the MHFE, a first forwarding table and a second forwarding table,
the first forwarding table storing a linking data for each logical port of each logical switch in the set of logical switches, wherein the linking data for a logical port of a logical switch is for identifying a corresponding routing component in the logical router,the second forwarding table storing a set routes for each routing component of the logical router; and using the first and second forwarding tables to perform packet forwarding operations at the MHFE. |
