# Configure networking in VMware Deployments

When installing a CloudGuard WAF [Gateway in a VMware](/getting-started/deploy-enforcement-point/gateway-virtual-machine/vmware.md) deployment, after initial installation, an administrator might require networking changes.

## Browsing to the networking administration portal of the CloudGuard WAF Gateway

Using a browser from a machine with access to the CloudGuard WAF gateway, browse to:\
**https\://\<cloudguard\_waf\_appsec\_gw\_address>:30443**

At first login, use the username 'admin' and the password that was set up during initial deployment. Afterwards you may have configured additional users and/or changed passwords.

## **Networking Configuration Options**

The browser will now show the administration portal following your login credentials as you set them during the [OVF deployment](/getting-started/deploy-enforcement-point/gateway-virtual-machine/vmware.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://waf-doc.inext.checkpoint.com/getting-started/deploy-enforcement-point/gateway-virtual-machine/vmware/configure-networking-in-vmware-deployments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
