# Ingress Gateway
-> **1.8.0+:** This config entry is available in Consul versions 1.8.0 and newer.
The `ingress-gateway` config entry kind allows you to configure ingress gateways
with listeners that expose a set of services outside the Consul service mesh.
See [Ingress Gateway](/docs/connect/ingress-gateway) for more information.
~> [Configuration entries](/docs/agent/config-entries) are global in scope. A configuration entry for a gateway name applies
across 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.
See [Ingress Gateway](/docs/connect/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/agent/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/agent/dns#ingress-service-lookups).
A wildcard specifier cannot be set on a listener of protocol `tcp`.

The `api` service is not an actual registered service. It exist as a "virtual"
service for L7 configuration only. A `service-router` is defined for this
virtual service which uses path-based routing to route requests to different
backend services.

## Available Fields
- `Kind` - Must be set to `ingress-gateway`
- `Name` `(string: <required>)` - Set to the name of the gateway being configured.
- `Namespace` `(string: "default")` - <EnterpriseAlert inline /> Specifies
the namespace the config entry will apply to. This must be the namespace
the gateway is registered in. If omitted, the namespace will be inherited
from [the request](/api/config#ns) or will default to the `default` namespace.
- `Meta` `(map<string|string>: nil)` - Specifies arbitrary KV metadata pairs. Added in Consul 1.8.4.
- `TLS` `(TLSConfig: <optional>)` - TLS configuration for this gateway.
- `Enabled` `(bool: false)` - Set this configuration to enable TLS for
every listener on the gateway.
If TLS is enabled, then each host defined in the `Host` field will be added
as a DNSSAN to the gateway's x509 certificate.
- `Listeners` `(array<IngressListener>: <optional>)` - A list of listeners that
the ingress gateway should setup, uniquely identified by their port number.
- `Port` `(int: 0)` - The port that the listener should receive traffic on.
- `Protocol` `(string: "tcp")` - The protocol associated with the listener.
One of `tcp`, `http`, `http2`, or `grpc`.
- `Services` `(array<IngressService>: <optional>)` - A list of services to be
exposed via this listener. For "tcp" listeners, only a single service is
allowed.
- `Name` `(string: "")` - The name of the service that should be exposed
through this listener. This can be either a service registered in the
catalog, or a service defined only by [other config
entries](/docs/connect/l7-traffic-management). If the wildcard specifier,
`*`, is provided, then ALL services will be exposed through the listener.
This is not supported for listener's with protocol "tcp".
- `Namespace` `(string: "")` - <EnterpriseAlert inline /> The namespace to resolve the service from
instead of the current namespace. If empty the current namespace is
assumed.
- `Hosts` `(array<string>: <optional>)` - A list of hosts that specify what
requests will match this service. This cannot be used with a `tcp`
listener, and cannot be specified alongside a `*` service name. If not
specified, the default domain `<service-name>.ingress.*` will be used to
match services. Requests **must** send the correct host to be routed to
the defined service.
The wildcard specifier, `*`, can be used by itself to match all traffic
coming to the ingress gateway, if TLS is not enabled. This allows a user
to route all traffic to a single service without specifying a host,
allowing simpler tests and demos. Otherwise, the wildcard specifier can
be used as part of the host to match multiple hosts, but only in the
leftmost DNS label. This ensures that all defined hosts are valid DNS
records. For example, `*.example.com` is valid, while `example.*` and
`*-suffix.example.com` are not.
~> **Note:** If a well-known port is not used, i.e. a port other than 80
(http) or 443 (https), then the port must be appended to the host to
correctly match traffic. This is defined in the [HTTP/1.1
RFC](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-14.23). If TLS is
enabled, then the host **without** the port must be added to the `Hosts`
field as well. TLS verification only matches against the hostname of the
incoming connection, and thus does not take into account the port.
## 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`.
