About Managing Gateways and

Networks 2

The vCloud Air console is the primary portal for managing gateways and networks. Additionally, you can

use vCloud Director to manage your gateways and networks at a more granular level. The vCloud Air

console provides single sign-on access to vCloud Director.

To perform the following tasks to manage gateways and networks in vCloud Air, verify that you have

network administrator or virtual infrastructure administrator privileges in the Dedicated Cloud and

Virtual Private Cloud services where you plan to manage your networking resources. (Configuring

additional permissions in vCloud Director is not required.)

VMware vSphere High Availability settings, the number of networks connected to it, and the number of

used and free public IP addresses.
