If your gateway is already activated, you must shut it down and restart it from the AWS Storage
Gateway Management Console. After the gateway restarts, you must test network connectivity to
the Internet. For information about how to test network connectivity, see Testing Your Gateway
Connection to the Internet (p. 260).
Configuring Your Gateway for Multiple NICs
If you configure your gateway to use multiple network adapters (NICs), it can be accessed by more than
one IP address. You might want to do this in the following situations:
• Maximizing throughput – You might want to maximize throughput to a gateway when network
adapters are a bottleneck.
• Application separation – You might need to separate how your applications write to a gateway's
volumes. For example, you might choose to have a critical storage application exclusively use one
particular adapter defined for your gateway.
