# Configure networking in VMware Deployments

When installing a CloudGuard WAF [Gateway in a VMware](https://waf-doc.inext.checkpoint.com/getting-started/deploy-enforcement-point/gateway-virtual-machine/vmware) 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](https://waf-doc.inext.checkpoint.com/getting-started/deploy-enforcement-point/gateway-virtual-machine/vmware).
