page_title: 'Configuration Entry Kind: Mesh'
description: >-
The mesh config entry kind allows for globally defining default
configuration across all services mesh proxies.
Settings in this config entry apply across all namespaces and federated datacenters.
Currently, only one mesh entry is supported.
---
# Mesh
-> **v1.10.0+:** This configuration entry is supported in Consul versions 1.10.0+.
The `mesh` configuration entry allows you to define a global default configuration that applies to all service mesh proxies.
Settings in this config entry apply across all namespaces and federated datacenters.
## Sample Configuration Entries
### Mesh-wide TLS Min Version
Enforce that service mesh mTLS traffic uses TLS v1.2 or newer.
<Tabs>
<Tab heading="Consul OSS">
<CodeTabs tabs={[ "HCL", "Kubernetes YAML", "JSON" ]}>
```hcl
Kind = "mesh"
TLS {
Incoming {
TLSMinVersion = "TLSv1_2"
}
}
```
```yaml
apiVersion: consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
kind: Mesh
metadata:
name: mesh
spec:
tls:
incoming:
tlsMinVersion: TLSv1_2
```
```json
{
"Kind": "mesh",
"TLS": {
"Incoming": {
"TLSMinVersion": "TLSv1_2"
}
}
}
```
</CodeTabs>
</Tab>
<Tab heading="Consul Enterprise">
The `mesh` configuration entry can only be created in the `default` namespace and will apply to proxies across **all** namespaces.
<CodeTabs tabs={[ "HCL", "Kubernetes YAML", "JSON" ]}>
```hcl
Kind = "mesh"
Namespace = "default" # Can only be set to "default".
Partition = "default"
TLS {
Incoming {
TLSMinVersion = "TLSv1_2"
}
}
```
```yaml
apiVersion: consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
kind: Mesh
metadata:
name: mesh
namespace: default
spec:
tls:
incoming:
tlsMinVersion: TLSv1_2
```
```json
{
"Kind": "mesh",
"Namespace": "default",
"Partition": "default",
"TLS": {
"Incoming": {
"TLSMinVersion": "TLSv1_2"
}
}
}
```
</CodeTabs>
</Tab>
</Tabs>
Note that the Kubernetes example does not include a `partition` field. Configuration entries are applied on Kubernetes using [custom resource definitions (CRD)](/docs/k8s/crds), which can only be scoped to their own partition.
### Mesh Destinations Only
Only allow transparent proxies to dial addresses in the mesh.

```hcl
Kind = "mesh"
TransparentProxy {
MeshDestinationsOnly = true
