Re: Can I configure CA Gateway to ignore boardcast

[Ralph Lange via Tech-talk <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

Hi Phil,

I would not expect this to be possible in the scope of the Gateway configuration.

Of course, if your Gateway is running on a host of its own, you could set up firewall rules to achieve this.

Another idea: since you will have to configure the clients anyway (to make them use unicasts for name resolution), why don't you run your Gateway on a different server side port instead? The clients will understand the usual "machine.net:port" notation.

Cheers,

Good Morning,

I am setting up an EPICS CA gateway between to networks, but I would
like the gateway to only respond to direct name searches and not to
broadcast name searches.  Is this even possible with the current gateway
or CA protocol?

I tried setting the -signore to the broadcast address but that did not work.
