Block Node is perfectly connecting with Relay Node.

Relay Node: relay.example.com:3001

cat /opt/cardano/config/mainnet-topology.json

Firewall:

Port connections are a success from Relay node to Block node.

From relay node, able to connect to Block node Internal IP and port,
$ nc -zv 10.12.15.36 3001
Connection to 10.12.15.36 3001 port [tcp/*] succeeded!

From relay node, able to connect to Block node External IP and port,
$ nc -zv 48.24.97.129 3001
Connection to 48.24.97.129 3001 port [tcp/*] succeeded!

I’ve also tried external IP on Relay node mainnet-topology.json that results in the same issue.

Relay Node works fine if I remove the Block Producer in the mainnet-topology.json.

When I run cardano-node on both block and relay, I use 0.0.0.0 for --host-addr

Am I missing anything? This is the remaining error preventing me from going live. I wanted to solve this before submitting stake pool registration certificate and delegation certificate.

U need to add the Producer IP + Port inside the:

  • topology updater script to custom peers and uncomment the line (if u are using cntools)
  • relay-topology_pull.sh if u are using coincashew guide

I’m using the official documentation and not using cntools or coincashew.
I’m just in the sync’ing phase trying to get both my relay and block producer node running together.

I looked up topology updater and realized it is necessary to ensure the minted blocks are made known to other nodes. But I am not yet there.

Is there a reason why the syncing stops abruptly.
