# Consul Peering Establish
|
|
|
|
Command: `consul peering establish`
|
|
|
|
Corresponding HTTP API Endpoint: [\[POST\] /v1/peering/establish](/api-docs/peering#establish-a-peering-connection)
|
|
|
|
The `peering establish` starts a peering connection with the cluster that generated the peering token.
|
|
You can generate cluster peering tokens using the [`consul peering generate-token`](/commands/operator/generate-token) command or the [HTTP API](https://www.consul.io/api-docs/peering#generate-a-peering-token).
|
|
|
|
You can only use a peering token to establish the connection once. If you need to reestablish a peering connection, you must generate a new token.
