# Add Static Route

To be able to add a static route to the NAT Gateway, you must create a virtual machine in the Instance menu that uses a VPC accompanied by a NAT Gateway. Here are the steps to add Static Route on the NAT Gateway:

* On the NAT Gateway Configuration page, select the Static Route label then click Create Static Route.

* The Create Static Route form appears, fill in all the columns available on the form.

<table><thead><tr><th width="187">Column</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Destination CIDR</strong></td><td>Configuration that determines the destination network to be translated by the NAT Gateway.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Nexthop</strong></td><td>Configure by adding a Gateway IP address which is useful for forwarding data packets to the destination.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Description</strong></td><td>Configuration information about the static route created.</td></tr></tbody></table>

* If all forms have been filled in, click the Create button and wait until the process is complete.

* Static route is available and can be used.
