Abstract

Some embodiments provide a method for distributing rules associated with a particular logical network element that is implemented across one or more physical sites. The method uses a set of attributes of a set of elements associated with the particular logical network element to identify a particular set of physical sites spanned by the particular logical network element. The method identifies a set of rules associated with the particular logical network element. The method distributes the identified set of rules to each site of the identified set of physical sites.
