# 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`](../Reference/Pantheon-CLI-Syntax.md#bootnodes) option.
|
|
|
|
### Private Networks
|
|
|
|
To start a bootnode for a private network:
|
|
|
|
1. Export the public key to a file:
|
|
|
|
!!! example
|
|
```bash
|
|
pantheon export-pub-key bootnode
|
|
```
|
|
The node public key is exported to the `bootnode` file.
|
|
|
|
2. Start the bootnode, specifying:
|
|
|
|
* An empty string for the [`--bootnodes`](../Reference/Pantheon-CLI-Syntax.md#bootnodes) option because this is the bootnode.
|
|
* The network ID for your private network.
|
|
|
|
!!! example
|
|
```bash
|
|
pantheon --bootnodes="" --network-id 123
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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 (`bootnode` in 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-listen` option for the bootnode (default is `127.0.0.1:30303`).
|
|
|
|
!!! 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
|
|
``` |
