# Testing and Developing Nodes
## Bootnodes
Bootnodes are used to initially discover peers.
### Mainnet and Public Testnets
For mainnet, Rinkeby, Ropsten, and Görli, Pantheon predefines a list of enode URLs.
### Private Networks
To start a bootnode for a private network:
1. Export the public key to a file:
!!! example
```bash
pantheon --genesis-file=privateNetworkGenesis.json --data-path=nodeDataPath public-key export --to=bootnode
```
Where `privateNetworkGenesis.json` and `nodeDataPath` are changed to the relevant values for
your private network.
The node public key is exported to the `bootnode` file.
2. Start the bootnode, specifying:
* Genesis file and data directory as in the previous step.
* No arguments for the [`--bootnodes` option](../Reference/Pantheon-CLI-Syntax.md#bootnodes) because this is your bootnode.
!!! example
```
pantheon --genesis-file=privateNetworkGenesis.json --data-path=nodeDataPath --bootnodes
```
To specify this bootnode for another node, the enode URL for the [`--bootnodes`](../Reference/Pantheon-CLI-Syntax.md#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-host`](../Reference/Pantheon-CLI-Syntax.md#p2p-host) and
[`--p2p-port`](../Reference/Pantheon-CLI-Syntax.md#p2p-port) options for the bootnode
(default host is `127.0.0.1` and port is `30303`).
!!! example
If the [`--p2p-host`](../Reference/Pantheon-CLI-Syntax.md#p2p-host) or [`--p2p-port`](../Reference/Pantheon-CLI-Syntax.md#p2p-port) options are not specified and the node public key exported is `0xc35c3ec90a8a51fd5703594c6303382f3ae6b2ecb9589bab2c04b3794f2bc3fc2631dabb0c08af795787a6c004d8f532230ae6e9925cbbefb0b28b79295d615f`
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`.
Use the [`--p2p-host`](../Reference/Pantheon-CLI-Syntax.md#p2p-host) and
[`--p2p-port`](../Reference/Pantheon-CLI-Syntax.md#p2p-port) option to specify a host and port.
To start a node specifying the bootnode for P2P discovery:
!!! example
```bash
pantheon --genesis-file=privateNetworkGenesis.json --data-path=nodeDataPath --p2p-host=127.0.0.1 --p2p-port=30301 --network-id=123 --bootnodes=enode://c35c3ec90a8a51fd5703594c6303382f3ae6b2ecb99bab2c04b3794f2bc3fc2631dabb0c08af795787a6c004d8f532230ae6e9925cbbefb0b28b79295d615f@127.0.0.1:30303
```
