Abstract
A method for configuring an edge MHFE for a logical network to communicate with other networks is described. The method receives data for the logical network that defines a logical router and a set of logical switches for logically connecting several end machines that operate on different host machines. The method, based on the received logical network data, identifies a physical port of the MHFE to bind a logical uplink port of the logical router to the identified physical port. The uplink port is for connecting the logical router to the external network. The method then binds the logical uplink port to the identified physical port by defining an uplink logical switch with a logical port that is associated with the identified physical port and assigning network and data link addresses of the logical uplink port to the logical port of the uplink logical switch.
