.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fBgcloud compute routers nats rules create\fR is used to create a Rule on a
Compute Engine NAT.



.SH "EXAMPLES"

Create a rule to use the IP Address address\-1 to talk to destination IPs in the
CIDR Range "203.0.113.0/24".

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-nat\fR=\fINAT\fR

Name of the NAT that contains the Rule

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-router\fR=\fIROUTER\fR

Router to use for NAT.

.SH "OPTIONAL FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-async\fR

Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-region\fR=\fIREGION\fR

Region of the NAT to create. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a
region (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
\f5\fIcompute/region\fR\fR property:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config set compute/region REGION
.RE

A list of regions can be fetched by running:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud compute regions list
.RE

To unset the property, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config unset compute/region
.RE

Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable
\f5\fICLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION\fR\fR.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-source\-nat\-active\-ips\fR=\fIIP_ADDRESS\fR,[\fIIP_ADDRESS\fR,...]

External IP Addresses to use for connections matching this rule. This flag is
supported only for Public NAT and is required when creating a Public NAT
gateway.

These must be valid reserved external IP addresses in the same region.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-source\-nat\-active\-ranges\fR=\fISUBNETWORK\fR,[\fISUBNETWORK\fR,...]

Subnetworks from which addresses are used for connections matching this rule.
This flag is supported only for Private NAT and is required when creating a
Private NAT gateway.

These must be subnetwork resources in the same region, with purpose set to
PRIVATE_NAT.
