You can generate cluster peering tokens using the [`consul peering generate-token`](/consul/commands/peering/generate-token) command or the [HTTP API](/consul/api-docs/peering#generate-a-peering-token).
- `-name=<string>` - (Required) Specifies a local name for the cluster you are establishing a connection with. The `name` is only used to identify the connection with the peer.
- `-peering-token=<string>` - (Required) Specifies the peering token from the cluster that generated the token.
- `-meta=<string>=<string>` - Specifies key/value pairs to associate with the peering connection in `-meta="key"="value"` format. You can use the flag multiple times to set multiple metadata fields.
