# 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.
