As shown in the illustration, what statement is true concerning each of the system gateways? EL-0098 Illustration EL-0098: the U.S. Coast Guard has not released this illustration.

Correct Answer: Option C — Each connects one of two redundant automation area networks with one of two redundant engine control process area networks and one of two redundant cargo process area networks.

System gateways bridge distinct network segments within marine automation architectures. Each redundant gateway links a primary automation area network with both the redundant engine control process area networks and the redundant cargo process area networks to ensure fault tolerance.
