8.9.0 Cardano Block topology configuration

Staking & Delegation Operate a Stake Pool
1

I have my pool setup for P2P now, and wondering how I add the relay into this topology.json.

Should I even be using p2p on the block or just the relay? Do I need to configure anything else?

{
“localRoots”: [
{
“accessPoints”: ,
“advertise”: false,
“valency”: 1
}
],
“publicRoots”: [
{
“accessPoints”: [
{
“address”: “backbone.cardano-mainnet.iohk.io”,
“port”: 3001
},
{
“address”: “backbone.cardano.iog.io”,
“port”: 3001
},
{
“address”: “backbone.mainnet.emurgornd.com”,
“port”: 3001
}
],
“advertise”: false
}
],
“useLedgerAfterSlot”: 116812831
}

Should I just use my old topology for my block? and p2p for relay?

This topology is on my BP with p2p:

{
    "localRoots": [
        {
            "accessPoints": [
                {
                    "node": "relay-01",
                    "address": "x",
                    "port": x
                },
                {
                    "node": "relay-02",
                    "address": "x",
                    "port": x
                }
            ],
            "advertise": false,
            "valency": 2
        }
    ],
    "publicRoots": [
        {
            "accessPoints": [ ],
            "advertise": false
        }
    ],
    "useLedgerAfterSlot": -1
}

So yes, you can run your BP in p2p mode but make sure it doesnt connect with any other relays than yours with “useLedgerAfterSlot”: -1.

@Zyroxa and for relays you set?

  "publicRoots": [
        {
            "accessPoints": [ ],
            "advertise": true
        }
    ],
    "useLedgerAfterSlot": 0

and no topology updater services right? Including the service which announce your server to the network…

Thanks

@Anti.biz you actually wrote x inside topology file?

If you don’t have the 2nd relay then delete

,
                {
                    "node": "relay-02",
                    "address": "x",
                    "port": x
                }

How should my relay topology look to connect to my block?

Should I add anything into cnode.sh ?

Check if your service is running correctly.

Seems fine.

Can you check your logs?

tail -10f /opt/cardano/cnode/logs/node0.json
