Abstract
Some embodiments provide, for a first controller application, a method for configuring a managed hardware forwarding element (MHFE) to implement one or more logical networks. The method of some embodiments receives logical network data that defines at least one logical forwarding element of a logical network to be implemented by the MHFE. The method then identifies a set of tables of a database instance that is instantiated on the MHFE in order to distribute the logical network data to the MHFE. In some embodiments, the method monitors the identified set of tables in order to determine whether a second controller application updates any one of the set of tables. The method distributes the logical network data to the MHFE so long as none of the tables in the set of tables is updated by the second controller application.
