## Symptoms

- * Import of VMSS gateways to CMA fails.  

* The `/var/log/CPcme/cme.log` file shows:  

  `

  DATE TIME,PID CME_SERVICE INFO ********** Starting loop iteration number 1 for gateway instances **********`  
  `
  DATE TIME,PID CME_SERVICE INFO The management runs in a MDS environment, and the domain server is Test_MDS`  
  `
  DATE TIME,PIDCME_SERVICE INFO There are no gateways known by the management at the beginning of the iteration`  
  `
  DATE TIME,PID CME_SERVICE INFO The gateways found in controller Test-Controller are:`  
  `
  DATE TIME,PID CME_SERVICE INFO 1: Test-Controller--Gateway1`  

  `


  DATE TIME,PID CME_SERVICE INFO SIC port is not yet open between management test-management-server and gateway Test-Controller--Gateway1.`  
  `
  DATE TIME,PID CME_SERVICE INFO CME Service will retry to connect later`  
  `
  DATE TIME,PID CME_SERVICE INFO Test-Controller--Gateway1 state is changed to: INITIALIZING`  

* The auto provisioning command "autoprov_cfg init...ETC" completes without errors and "service cme test" completes with "All tests passed successfully".
* Import of AWS ASG (autoscaling group) fails

## Cause

1. SIC traffic is not reaching the Cloudguard IaaS gateways from the Check Point management.   

2. Gateway already has SIC established and the management (CMA or SmartCenter) is not sending traffic on tcp port 18208
