Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for configuring a set of logical routers in a logical network. The method receives a configuration of an advertised route for a first logical router and a set of allowable routes for a second logical router to which the first logical router connects. The method determines whether the set of allowable routes for the second logical router includes the advertised route as an allowed route from the first logical router. Only when the advertised route is an allowed route from the first logical router, the method adds the advertised route to a routing table for at least one component of the second logical router.
