Support outer node sync with network

Overview​

Currently, the default network is a private network, we only support nodes in the Blockchain Cloud. This article will guide users how to allow their nodes to be connected from outside to a blockchain network which the Blockchain Cloud holds.

Steps​

Open P2P Port​

note
  • Only enterprise account can open P2P port

Go to the node, which you want to use as an external bootnode​

note
  • Users should only select transaction nodes, not signer nodes.
  • User can use multiple nodes as bootnode.

Open P2P in Edit Inbound Rules​

Prepare network information​

To allow connections from outside, you need to provide the following information.

  • genesis config​

note
  • From this information, external nodes can sync data from the network in the Blockchain Cloud.
  • You can refer to how to connect to the node via this document
warning

There will be times when the enode changes due to some reasons like changing the instance type of the bootnode or having a problem. The user needs to check the enode again and send the latest information to the outer nodes.
