+ <h3>VIFs on the logical switch connected by a distributed gateway port</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ Typically the logical switch connected by a distributed gateway port is for
+ external connectivity, usually to a physical network through a localnet
+ port on the logical switch, or to a remote OVN deployment through OVN
+ Interconnection. In these cases there is no VIF ports required on the
+ logical switch.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ While not very common, it is still possible to create VIF ports on the
+ logical switch connected by a distributed gateway port, but there is a
+ limitation that the logical ports need to reside on the gateway chassis
+ where the distributed gateway port resides to get connectivity to other
+ logical switches through the distributed gateway port. There is no
+ limitation for the VIFs to connect within the logical switch, or beyond the
+ logical switch through other regular distributed logical router ports.
+ </p>
