-> Note the `-node` option in the above command. This should be same as the node name of the [Consul Agent](https://www.consul.io/docs/agent#running-an-agent). This is a [requirement](https://www.consul.io/docs/connect/gateways/mesh-gateway/wan-federation-via-mesh-gateways#tls) for Consul Federation to work. Alternatively, if you plan to use the same certificate and key pair on all your Consul server nodes, or you don't know the nodename in advance, use `-node "*"` instead.
