Abstract: A gateway for a computer network includes a programmable integrated circuit device, and a first port and a second port coupled to the programmable integrated circuit device. The programmable integrated circuit device is structured and configured to, responsive to a restoration of power to the gateway following a loss of power at the gateway, read configuration information stored by the gateway, and if indicated by the configuration information, forward first data traffic from the first port to the second port and forward second data traffic from second port to first port until the programmable integrated circuit device is configured to do otherwise.
