In a transparent gateway scenario, downstream devices (sometimes called child devices) need identities in IoT Hub like any other device. This article walks through the options for authenticating a downstream device to IoT Hub, and then demonstrates how to declare the gateway connection.

Without the API proxy, each service module would have to bind to a separate port on the host device, requiring a tedious and error-prone configuration change on each child device that connects to the parent IoT Edge device.

1. Configure the gateway device as a server so that downstream devices can connect to it securely. Set up the gateway to receive messages from downstream devices and route them to the proper destination. For those steps, see [Configure an IoT Edge device to act as a transparent gateway](how-to-create-transparent-gateway.md).

In a gateway scenario, an IoT Edge device can be both a gateway and a downstream (child) device. Multiple IoT Edge gateways can be layered to create a hierarchy of devices. The downstream devices can authenticate and send or receive messages through their gateway (parent) device.

There are two different configurations for IoT Edge devices in a gateway hierarchy, and this article address both. The first is the **top layer** IoT Edge device. When multiple IoT Edge devices are connecting through each other, any device that doesn't have a parent device but connects directly to IoT Hub is considered to be in the top layer. This device is responsible for handling requests from all the devices below it. The other configuration applies to any IoT Edge device in a **lower layer** of the hierarchy. These devices may be a gateway for other downstream IoT and IoT Edge devices, but also need to route any communications through their own parent devices.
