    --vpcNo <vpc-no> \
    --zoneCode <zone-code> \
    [--natGatewayName <nat-gateway-name>] \
    [--natGatewayDescription <nat-gateway-description>] \
    [--subnetNo <subnet-no>] \
    [--publicIpInstanceNo <public-ip-instance-no>] \
    [--privateIp <private-ip>] \
    [--regionCode <KR|SGN|JPN>] \
    [--output <json|xml>]
```

## Options

This section describes the options available when running `createNatGatewayInstance`.

### Required options

The following options are required for `createNatGatewayInstance`.

| Options | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--vpcNo` | String | Required | VPC number - See [getVpcList](/docs/en/cli-vpc-vpcmanagement-getvpclist). |
| `--zoneCode` | String | Required | Zone code - See [getZoneList](/docs/en/cli-vserver-server-common-getzonelist). |

### Optional options

| `--natGatewayDescription` | String | Optional | Description of NAT Gateway to create (byte) - 0-1000 |
| `--subnetNo` | String | Optional | Subnet number - If `subnetNo` is NULL, it is created in a `PUBLIC` type NAT Gateway subnet. - If `subnetNo` is NOT-NULL, NAT Gateway is created according to the `subnetTypeCode` of the specified NAT Gateway subnet. - See [getSubnetList](/docs/en/cli-vpc-subnetmanagement-getsubnetlist). |
| `--publicIpInstanceNo` | String | Optional | Public IP instance number - If the subnet is a `PRIVATE` type, this option is ignored. - If the subnet is a `PUBLIC` type: - A public IP is automatically created if `publicIpInstanceNo` is NULL; - A specified public IP is assigned if `publicIpInstanceNo` is NOT-NULL. |
| `--privateIp` | String | Optional | Private IP address - If `privateIp` is NULL, a private IP is automatically assigned. - If `privateIp` is NOT-NULL, a specified private IP is assigned. |
