# Modifying a NAT Gateway

#### Scenarios

This section describes how to modify the name, type, or description of a NAT gateway.

#### Prerequisites

A NAT gateway has been created.

#### Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and select the desired region and project.
3. Under Network, choose NAT Gateway.

5. Modify the name, type, or description of the NAT gateway as prompted.

6. Click Next.
