Some embodiments provide a method of migrating a first software defined (SD) network managed by a first network manager to a second SD network managed by a second network manager. The method of some embodiments is performed by a third network manager that provides an interface that allows a set of users to specify and review logical network components, which the first and second network managers can then respectively deploy in the first and second SD networks. The third network manager in some embodiments identifies for a migration manager a first group of two or more logical network components that the third network manager previously specified for the first network manager to deploy in the first SD network. The migration manager then uses this information to correctly convert the first group of logical network components to a second group of two or more logical components in an appropriate manner that will allow the third network manager to manage the second group of logical network components that is implemented in the second SD network.
