`-register`. This takes the form of `<ip address>:<port>` but also supports go-sockaddr
templates.
If Envoy is configured as a terminating or mesh gateway, traffic from services
within the mesh will be received at the specified IP and port.
If Envoy is configured as an ingress gateway, a `/ready` HTTP endpoint will be
instantiated at the specified IP and port. Consul uses `/ready` HTTP endpoints
to check gateway health. The specified IP will also be used by the ingress
gateway when instantiating user-defined listeners configured in the
[ingress gateway](/docs/connect/gateways/ingress-gateway) configuration entry.
~> **Note**: Ensure that user-defined ingress gateway listeners use a
different port than the port specified in `-address` so that they do not
conflict with the health check endpoint.

server. If no access log is desired specify `/dev/null`. By default it will
use `/dev/null`.

given as `<name>=<ip>:<port>` pairs. This flag may be specified multiple times

Specified as `<name>=<ip>:<port>` pairs. This flag may be used multiple times
to add multiple bind addresses.
