Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for implementing a logical network. Based on logical network configuration data, the method identifies a route for a set of network addresses to add to a routing table of the logical router, and also identifies a route type for the identified route. The method determines whether to include the identified route as a route for the logical router to advertise based on the route type of the identified route. The method distributes a routing table comprising the identified route to a computing device that implements the logical router, where the computing device advertises the identified route when the route type is specified for advertisement.
