# TCP route configuration reference
This topic provides reference information for the gateway TCP routes configuration
entry. Refer to [Route Resource Configuration](/consul/docs/connect/gateways/api-gateway/configuration/routes) for information
about configuring API gateways in Kubernetes environments.
## Configuration model
The following list outlines field hierarchy, language-specific data types, and
requirements in an `tcp-route` configuration entry. Click on a property name to
view additional details, including default values.
- [`Kind`](#kind): string | must be `"tcp-route"`
- [`Name`](#name): string | no default
- [`Namespace`](#namespace): string | no default <EnterpriseAlert inline />
- [`Partition`](#partition): string | no default <EnterpriseAlert inline />
- [`Meta`](#meta): map | no default
- [`Services`](#services): list | no default
- [`Name`](#services-name): string | no default
- [`Namespace`](#services-namespace): string | no default <EnterpriseAlert inline />
- [`Partition`](#services-partition): string | no default <EnterpriseAlert inline />
- [`Parents`](#parents): list | no default
- [`Kind`](#parents-kind): string | must be `"api-gateway"`
- [`Name`](#parents-name): string | no default
- [`Namespace`](#parents-namespace): string | no default <EnterpriseAlert inline />
- [`Partition`](#parents-partition): string | no default <EnterpriseAlert inline />
- [`SectionName`](#parents-sectionname): string | no default
## Complete configuration
When every field is defined, a `tcp-route` configuration entry has the following form:
<CodeTabs>
```HCL
Kind = "tcp-route"
Name = "<name of the route>"
Namespace = "<enterprise: namespace of the route>"
Partition = "<enterprise: partition of the route>"
Meta = {
"<any key>" = "<any value>"
}
Services = [
{
Name = "<name of service>"
Namespace = "<enterprise: namespace of the service>"
Partition = "<enterprise: partition of the service>"
}
]
Parents = [
{
Kind = "api-gateway"
Name = "<name of the api-gateway to bind to>"
Namespace = "<enterprise: namespace of the parent>"
Partition = "<enterprise: partition of the parent>"
SectionName = "<listener on the api-gateway to bind to>"
}
]
```
```JSON
{
"Kind": "tcp-route",
"Name": "<name of the route>",
"Namespace": "<enterprise: namespace of the route>",
"Partition": "<enterprise: partition of the route>",
"Meta": {
"<any key>": "<any value>"
},
"Services": [
{
"Name": "<name of service>"
"Namespace": "<enterprise: namespace of the service>",

}
]
}

such as applying a configuration entry to a specific cluster.
#### Values
- Default: Defaults to the name of the node after writing the entry to the Consul server.
- This field is required.
- Data type: string
### `Namespace` <EnterpriseAlert inline />
Specifies the Enterprise [namespace](/consul/docs/enterprise/namespaces) to apply to the configuration entry.
#### Values
- Default: `"default"` in Enterprise
- Data type: string

Specifies the Enterprise [admin partition](/consul/docs/enterprise/admin-partitions) to apply to the configuration entry.
#### Values

#### Values
- Default: none
- The data type is a list of maps. Each member of the list contains the following fields:
- [`Name`](#services-name)
- [`Namespace`](#services-namespace) <EnterpriseAlert inline />
- [`Partition`](#services-partition) <EnterpriseAlert inline />
### `Services.Name`

Specifies the Enterprise [admin partition](/consul/docs/enterprise/admin-partitions) where the service is located.
#### Values
- Default: `"default"` in Enterprise
- Data type: string
### `Parents`
Specifies the list of gateways that the route is bound to.
#### Values
- Default: none
- Data type: List of map. Each member of the list contains the following fields:
