# Route Traffic to Peered Services
This topic describes how to configure Consul API Gateway to route traffic to services connected to the mesh through a peering connection
This topic describes how to configure Consul API Gateway to route traffic to services connected to the mesh through a peering connection.
## Requirements
1. Verify that the [requirements](/docs/api-gateway/tech-specs) have been met.
1. Verify that the Consul API Gateway CRDs and controller have been installed and applied. Refer to [Installation](/docs/api-gateway/install) for details.
1. Verify that a peering connection has been established between Consul clusters and that at least one service has been exported to the cluster containing your `Gateway`. Refer to [Cluster Peering on Kubernetes](https://developer.hashicorp.com/consul/docs/connect/cluster-peering/k8s) for details.
## Configuration
Configure the following fields in your `MeshService` configuration to use this feature. Refer to the [MeshService configuration reference](/docs/api-gateway/configuration/mesh) for details about the parameters.
* [`name`](/docs/api-gateway/configuration/meshservice#name)
* [`peer`](/docs/api-gateway/configuration/meshservice#peer)
## Example
In the following example, routes using the example-mesh-service as a backend will send requests to the `echo` service exported by the peered Consul cluster, `dc2`.
<CodeBlockConfig filename="meshservice.yaml">
```yaml hideClipboard
apiVersion: api-gateway.consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
kind: MeshService
metadata:
name: example-mesh-service
##...
spec:
name: echo
peer: dc2
```
</CodeBlockConfig>
