# Manage cluster peering connections
This usage topic describes how to manage cluster peering connections using the CLI, the HTTP API, and the UI.
After you establish a cluster peering connection, you can get a list of all active peering connections, read a specific peering connection's information, and delete peering connections.
For Kubernetes-specific guidance for managing cluster peering connections, refer to [Manage cluster peering connections on Kubernetes](/consul/docs/k8s/connect/cluster-peering/usage/manage-peering).
## List all peering connections
You can list all active peering connections in a cluster.
<Tabs>
<Tab heading="Consul CLI" group="cli">
```shell-session
$ consul peering list
Name State Imported Svcs Exported Svcs Meta
cluster-02 ACTIVE 0 2 env=production
cluster-03 PENDING 0 0
```
For more information, including optional flags and parameters, refer to the [`consul peering list` CLI command reference](/consul/commands/peering/list).
</Tab>
<Tab heading="HTTP API" group="api">
The following example shows how to format an API request to list peering connections:
```shell-session
$ curl --header "X-Consul-Token: 0137db51-5895-4c25-b6cd-d9ed992f4a52" http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/peerings
```
For more information, including optional parameters and sample responses, refer to the [`/peering` endpoint reference](/consul/api-docs/peering#list-all-peerings).
</Tab>
<Tab heading="Consul UI" group="ui">
In the Consul UI, click **Peers**.
The UI lists peering connections you created for clusters in a datacenter. The name that appears in the list is the name of the cluster in a different datacenter with an established peering connection.
</Tab>
</Tabs>
## Read a peering connection
You can get information about individual peering connections between clusters.
<Tabs>
<Tab heading="Consul CLI" group="cli">
The following example outputs information about a peering connection locally referred to as "cluster-02":
```shell-session
$ consul peering read -name cluster-02
Name: cluster-02
ID: 3b001063-8079-b1a6-764c-738af5a39a97
State: ACTIVE
Meta:
env=production
Peer ID: e83a315c-027e-bcb1-7c0c-a46650904a05
Peer Server Name: server.dc1.consul
Peer CA Pems: 0
Peer Server Addresses:
10.0.0.1:8300
Imported Services: 0
Exported Services: 2
Create Index: 89
Modify Index: 89
```
For more information, including optional flags and parameters, refer to the [`consul peering read` CLI command reference](/consul/commands/peering/read).
</Tab>
<Tab heading="HTTP API" group="api">
```shell-session
$ curl --header "X-Consul-Token: b23b3cad-5ea1-4413-919e-c76884b9ad60" http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/peering/cluster-02
```
For more information, including optional parameters and sample responses, refer to the [`/peering` endpoint reference](/consul/api-docs/peering#read-a-peering-connection).
</Tab>
<Tab heading="Consul UI" group="ui">
1. In the Consul UI, click **Peers**.
1. Click the name of a peered cluster to view additional details about the peering connection.
</Tab>
</Tabs>
## Delete peering connections
You can disconnect the peered clusters by deleting their connection. Deleting a peering connection stops data replication to the peer and deletes imported data, including services and CA certificates.
<Tabs>
<Tab heading="Consul CLI" group="cli">
The following examples deletes a peering connection to a cluster locally referred to as "cluster-02":
```shell-session
$ consul peering delete -name cluster-02
Successfully submitted peering connection, cluster-02, for deletion
```
For more information, including optional flags and parameters, refer to the [`consul peering delete` CLI command reference](/consul/commands/peering/delete).
</Tab>
<Tab heading="HTTP API" group="api">
```shell-session
$ curl --request DELETE --header "X-Consul-Token: b23b3cad-5ea1-4413-919e-c76884b9ad60" http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/peering/cluster-02
```
This endpoint does not return a response. For more information, including optional parameters, refer to the [`/peering` endpoint reference](/consul/api-docs/peering#delete-a-peering-connection).
</Tab>
<Tab heading="Consul UI" group="ui">
1. In the Consul UI, click **Peers**. The UI lists peering connections you created for clusters in that datacenter.
1. Next to the name of the peer, click **More** (three horizontal dots) and then **Delete**.
1. Click **Delete** to confirm and remove the peering connection.
</Tab>
