Abstract:
A method of providing a set of network addresses associated with a managed forwarding element (MFE) in a logical network that includes a set of data compute nodes (DCNs). The DCNs are hosted on a set of physical hosts. Each DCN is connected to an MFE on the corresponding host. The method receives a request to translate an MFE into a set of network addresses, the request comprising an identification of the MFE. The method identifies a logical network entity associated with the MFE based on the identification of the MFE. The method identifies a set of network addresses associated with the identified network entity and provides the set of network addresses as the set of network addresses associated with the identified network entity.
