Testing and Developing Nodes
Bootnodes
Bootnodes are used to initially discover peers.
Mainnet and Public Testnets
For mainnet and Rinkeby, Pantheon predefines a list of enonde URLs. For Ropsten, bootnodes are specified using the --bootnodes option.
Private Networks
To start a bootnode for a private network:
-
Export the public key to a file:
!!! example
bash pantheon export-pub-key bootnodeThe node public key is exported to thebootnodefile. -
Start the bootnode, specifying:
- An empty string for the
--bootnodesoption because this is the bootnode. - The network ID for your private network.
!!! example
bash pantheon --bootnodes="" --network-id 123 - An empty string for the
To specify this bootnode for another node, the enode URL for the --bootnodes option is enode://<id>@<host:port> where:
<id>is the node public key written to the specified file (bootnodein the above example) excluding the initial 0x.<host:port>is the host and port the bootnode is listening on for P2P peer discovery. Specified by the--p2p-listenoption for the bootnode (default is127.0.0.1:30303).
!!! example
If the --p2p-listen option is not specified and the node public key exported is 0xc35c3ec90a8a51fd5703594c6303382f3ae6b2ecb9589bab2c04b3794f2bc3fc2631dabb0c08af795787a6c004d8f532230ae6e9925cbbefb0b28b79295d615f
Then the enode URL is:
`enode://c35c3ec90a8a51fd5703594c6303382f3ae6b2ecb9589bab2c04b3794f2bc3fc2631dabb0c08af795787a6c004d8f532230ae6e9925cbbefb0b28b79295d615f@127.0.0.1:30303`
!!! info
The default host and port for P2P peer discovery is 127.0.0.1:30303. The --p2p-listen option can be used to specify a host and port.
To start a node specifying the bootnode for P2P discovery:
!!! example
bash pantheon --datadir=/tmp/pantheon/30301 --p2p-listen=127.0.0.1:30301 --network-id=123 --bootnodes=enode://c35c3ec90a8a51fd5703594c6303382f3ae6b2ecb99bab2c04b3794f2bc3fc2631dabb0c08af795787a6c004d8f532230ae6e9925cbbefb0b28b79295d615f@127.0.0.1:30303
