Deleting a NAT Gateway
Delete a NAT gateway from a Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) in Networking.
Prerequisite: Before you delete a NAT gateway, delete all route rules in the VCN that specify the gateway as the target. Deleting those rules stops the routing in the VCN to the gateway. If a route rule refers to the gateway, it can't be deleted until the reference is removed.
See Listing VCN Route Tables and Updating a VCN Route Table's Rules for more about finding and updating route rules that refer to a gateway.
This operation is asynchronous. The NAT gateway's lifecycleState state changes to TERMINATING temporarily until the NAT gateway is removed.
- Open the navigation menu , select Networking, and then select Virtual cloud networks.
- Select the name of the VCN that you're interested in.
- Under Resources, select NAT Gateways.
-
For the NAT gateway that you want to delete, select the Actions menu (
), and then select Terminate.
- To confirm, select Terminate.
