Figure 1‑2. vCloud Air Gateway After Upgrade
After an upgrade, the tabs for configuring NAT and firewall rules are moved to thevCloud Director Web UI
to match the NSX user experience. Click Manage in vCloud Director to navigate to the
Advanced Networking Services UI where you configure those functions (and others) for your vCloud Air
environment.
vCloud Air maintains your existing, pre-upgrade network configuration after the upgrade.

edge gateway to Advanced Networking Services, have access to all the advanced networking features for
that edge gateway.
You can still use the VMware vCloud Air Web UI to configure basic networking features for your VMware
vCloud Air environment, such as creating networks, assigning virtual machines to networks, and allocating
IP addresses to your edge gateways. See the vCloud Air Networking Guide for information about using the
basic network features.
