# Mesh
-> **v1.10.0+:** This config entry is supported in Consul versions 1.10.0+.
The `mesh` config entry kind allows for globally defining
default configuration that applies to all service mesh proxies.
Settings in this config entry apply across all namespaces and federated datacenters.
## Sample Config Entries
### Mesh Destinations Only
Only allow transparent proxies to dial addresses in the mesh.
<Tabs>
<Tab heading="HCL">
```hcl
Kind = "mesh"
TransparentProxy {
MeshDestinationsOnly = true
}
```
</Tab>
<Tab heading="HCL (Consul Enterprise)">
**NOTE:** The `mesh` config entry can only be created in the `default`
namespace and it will apply to proxies across **all** namespaces.
```hcl
Kind = "mesh"
Namespace = "default" # Can only be set to "default".
TransparentProxy {
MeshDestinationsOnly = true
}
```
</Tab>
<Tab heading="Kubernetes YAML">
```yaml
apiVersion: consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
kind: Mesh
metadata:
name: mesh
spec:
transparentProxy:
meshDestinationsOnly: true
```
</Tab>
<Tab heading="Kubernetes YAML (Consul Enterprise)">
**NOTE:** A `Mesh` resource can be created in any Kubernetes
namespace but it will apply to proxies across **all** namespaces. Only one
`Mesh` resource can exist in the cluster.
```yaml
apiVersion: consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
kind: Mesh
metadata:
name: mesh
spec:
transparentProxy:
meshDestinationsOnly: true
```
