Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a novel method of configuring a managed hardware forwarding element (MHFE) that implements a logical forwarding element (LFE) of a logical network to handle address resolution requests (e.g., Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests) for multiple addresses (e.g., IP addresses) associated with a single network interface of the logical network. The method identifies a physical port of the MHFE with which the multiple addresses are to be associated. The physical port is coupled to an end machine (e.g., a virtual machine, server, container, etc.) of the logical network. The method then modifies associations stored at the MHFE to associate the physical port with the multiple addresses.

Claim (Index 1):
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program which when executed by at least one processing unit associates a plurality of addresses with a logical network interface in a logical network, the logical network implemented on a set of hardware forwarding elements, the program comprising:\n identifying a plurality of logical addresses to assign to a machine of the logical network, the machine attached to a particular port of a particular hardware switch of the set of hardware switches; and modifying a set of associations stored at the particular hardware switch to associate the particular port with the plurality of addresses.
