Abstract
Some embodiments provide a novel method for configuring edge routers in a first network. The method configures on a first compute node of the first network (1) a first higher-level edge router and (2) a set of lower-level edge routers. Each lower-level edge router is configured for a different set of subnetworks defined in the first network and is connected to an external second network through the first higher-level edge router. The method detects a condition that requires a particular lower-level edge router for a particular subnetwork to be moved to another compute node. The method configures the particular lower-level edge router to operate on a second compute node below a second higher-level edge router operating on the second compute node to connect the particular lower-level edge router to the external second network.
