Also starting the gateway with the "-log gateway.log" option does provide
information about how the gateway is configured and may also provide some
error/warning messages as well.

The gateway configuration information is provided in the header of the log file.

Hi Abdalla,

How is that CA Gateway configured?
(Even when started without command line arguments, a Gateway usually needs configuration.)

    Hi____

    __ __

    We are running the gateway on a virtual server with 1 network interface,
    this server can see all the different LANs (office, machine, beamlines,
    etc.) through routing rules and access lists done by the IT group. When the
    gateway is running, after a while entire IOCs gets disconnected. We are
    running the gateway with no arguments but in the .bashrc file we are
    defining EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST having the IP address for the gateway to look at
    (Not all IOCs). This behavior happened when having all IOCs or some of them
    in the address list.____

    I came upon this video from APS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5Ge89Y4d1E
    <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5Ge89Y4d1E> In which, as I understood,
    they have multiple gateways running on the server with each gateway connects
    one network interfaces together to the other interfaces. So my questions
    are:____

    __1.__What is happening with our setup? Some CA loops happens at some point?____

    __2.__Is having a network interface per VLAN optional or recommended?____
