Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for an application operating on a host machine. The method receives a configuration of a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service for implementation within a virtualized container on the host machine. The configuration includes several database table entries. The method converts the several database table entries into a configuration file for use by a process that operates in the virtualized container. the method initializes the process in the virtualized container. The process in the virtualized container reads the configuration file in order to perform DHCP services for machines connected to at least one logical forwarding element of a logical network.
