A localnet
logical switch port bridges a logical switch to a
- physical VLAN. A logical switch with a localnet
LSP should
- have only one other LSP. Some kinds of gateways (see Gateways
- below) use a logical switch with a router port as the second LSP. On the
- other hand, when the second LSP is a VIF, the logical switch is not really
- a logical network, since it is bridged to the physical network rather than
- insulated from it, and therefore cannot have independent but overlapping IP
- address namespaces, etc. (A deployment might nevertheless choose such a
- configuration to take advantage of the OVN control plane and features such
- as port security and ACLs.)
