# Consul Connect Expose
Command: `consul connect expose`
2020-07-08 23:09:00 +00:00
The connect expose subcommand is used to expose a Connect-enabled service
2020-06-05 21:54:45 +00:00
through an Ingress gateway by modifying the gateway's configuration and adding
an intention to allow traffic from the gateway to the service. See the
[Ingress gateway documentation](/docs/connect/ingress-gateway) for more information
about Ingress gateways.

#### Expose Options
- `-ingress-gateway` - (Required) The name of the ingress gateway service to use.
A namespace can optionally be specified as a prefix via the
'namespace/service' format
2020-06-05 21:54:45 +00:00
- `-port` - (Required) The listener port to use for the service on the Ingress
gateway.
2020-06-05 21:54:45 +00:00
- `-service` - (Required) The name of destination service to expose. A namespace
can optionally be specified as a prefix via the 'namespace/service'

2020-06-08 23:59:47 +00:00

## Examples
The example below shows using the `expose` command to make the `foo` service available
through the Ingress gateway service `ingress`. The protocol argument is optional and
defaults to `tcp` if not provided.
```shell-session
$ consul connect expose -service=foo -ingress-gateway=ingress -port 8888 -protocol=tcp
Successfully updated config entry for ingress service "ingress"
Successfully set up intention for "ingress" -> "foo"
```
Running the command again when the config entry/intention are already set up will result
in a no-op:
```shell-session
$ consul connect expose -service=foo -ingress-gateway=ingress -port 8888 -protocol=tcp
Service "foo" already exposed through listener with port 8888
Intention already exists for "ingress" -> "foo"
```
