Hi Sue,

I have a curious problem concerning multi-subnet connectivity when converting from Epics 3.13.2 to Epics 3.14.8.2. Using the same network setup and database the 3.13 db can communicate across subnets while the 3.14 db gets a link error.

I'm having difficulty understanding your subnet architecture; the IP addresses you're using don't seem to match up — I think you just have a typo in your EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST setting.


From your description you have a heartbeat calc record on iocmc1 (129.57.236.20) which you would like to monitor from an ai record on iocfb1 (129.57.230.101). In order for that link to work, the EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST on iocfb1 must include the 129.57.236.xxx subnet, but you're pointing it to the 129.57.239.xxx subnet instead:

  resource.def file  for iocfb1
      putenv ("EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST = YES")
      putenv ("EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST = 129.57.239.255")

HTH,


- Andrew
