Abstract

Some embodiments provide a method for configuring a logical router to exchange routing data with a neighboring router through a dynamic routing protocol. The logical router is implemented as multiple routing components. The method receives identification data for the neighboring router with which to peer the logical router. Based on the identification data, the method identifies a subset of the routing components to peer with the neighboring router. The method generates configuration data for each routing component in the identified subset. Each identified routing component uses the configuration data to exchange routing data with the neighboring router through the dynamic routing protocol.
