# Ingress Gateway Configuration Entry

This topic provides reference information for the `ingress-gateway` configuration entry.

## Introduction

You can define an `ingress-gateway` configuration entry to connect the Consul service mesh to a set of external services. The specification for ingress gateways include a `listeners` configuration, which exposes the service mesh to the external services. Use camel case (`IngressGateway`) to declare an ingress gateway configuration entry on Kubernetes.

Refer to the [Kubernetes Ingress Gateway](/docs/k8s/connect/ingress-gateways) documentation for information about configuring ingress gateways on Kubernetes.

For other platforms, see [Ingress Gateway](/docs/connect/gateways/ingress-gateway).

## Usage

1. Verify that your datacenter meets the conditions specified in the [Requirements](#requirements).
1. Create a file containing the configuration entry settings (see [Configuration](#configuration)).
1. Apply the configuration settings using one of the following methods:
   - Kubernetes CRD: Refer to the [Custom Resource Definitions](/docs/k8s/crds) documentation for details.
   - Issue the `consul config write` command: Refer to the [Consul Config Write](/commands/config/write) documentation for details.

## Configuration

Use the following syntax to configure an ingress gateway.

Refer to the [Available Fields](#available-fields) section for complete information about all ingress gateway configuration entry options and to the [Example Configurations](#example-configurations) section for example use-cases.

### Scope

[Configuration entries](/docs/agent/config-entries) are global in scope. A configuration entry for a gateway name applies across the default partition of all federated Consul datacenters. If ingress gateways in different Consul datacenters need to route to different sets of services within their datacenter then the ingress gateways **must** be registered with different names or partitions. See [Ingress Gateway](/docs/connect/gateways/ingress-gateway) for more information.

### Wildcard Service Specification

Ingress gateways can optionally target all services within a Consul namespace by
specifying a wildcard `*` as the service name. A wildcard specifier allows
for a single listener to route traffic to all available services on the
Consul service mesh, differentiating between the services by their host/authority
header.

A wildcard specifier provides the following properties for an ingress
gateway:

- All services with the same
  [protocol](/docs/connect/config-entries/ingress-gateway#protocol) as the
  listener will be routable.
- The ingress gateway will route traffic based on the host/authority header,
  expecting a value matching `<service-name>.ingress.*`, or if using namespaces,
  `<service-name>.ingress.<namespace>.*`. This matches the [Consul DNS
  ingress subdomain](/docs/discovery/dns#ingress-service-lookups).

A wildcard specifier cannot be set on a listener of protocol `tcp`.

### ACLs

Configuration entries may be protected by [ACLs](/docs/security/acl).

Reading an `ingress-gateway` config entry requires `service:read` on the `Name`
field of the config entry.

Creating, updating, or deleting an `ingress-gateway` config entry requires
`operator:write`.

### Example Configurations

The following examples describe possible use-cases for ingress gateway configuration entries.

#### TCP listener

The following example sets up a TCP listener on an ingress gateway named `us-east-ingress` to proxy traffic to the `db` service. The Consul Enterprise version also posits the gateway listener inside the `default` [namespace](/docs/enterprise/namespaces) and the `team-frontend` [admin partition](/docs/enterprise/admin-partitions):

#### Wildcard HTTP Listener

In the following example, two listeners are configured on an ingress gateway named `us-east-ingress`:

- The first listener is configured to listen on port `8080` and uses a wildcard (`*`) to proxy traffic to all services in the datacenter.
- The second listener exposes the `api` and `web` services on port `4567` at user-provided hosts.
- TLS is enabled on every listener.
- The `max_connections` of the ingress gateway proxy to each upstream cluster is set to 4096.

The Consul Enterprise version implements the following additional configurations:

- The ingress gateway is set up in the `default` [namespace](/docs/enterprise/namespaces) and proxies traffic to all services in the `frontend` namespace.
- The `api` and `web` services are proxied to team-specific [admin partitions](/docs/enterprise/admin-partitions):

#### HTTP listener with Path-based Routing

The following example sets up an HTTP listener on an ingress gateway named `us-east-ingress` to proxy
traffic to a virtual service named `api`. In the Consul Enterprise version, `us-east-ingress` is set up in the `default` namespace and `default` partition.

In this use-case, internal-only debug headers should be stripped before responding to external clients.
Requests to internal services should also be labelled to indicate which gateway they came through.

For this use-case, the `api` service is not an actual registered service. It exists as a virtual service for L7 configuration only. A `service-router` (`ServiceRouter` on Kubernetes) is defined for the virtual service that uses path-based routing to route requests to different backend services:
