Router and Ports

Staking & Delegation Setup a Stake Pool
1

Have the cardano-node and cardano-cli installed. Having trouble with the router and ports. The server has the port 6000 open correctly after command: sudo ufw status numbered

The port has been forwarded on the router

port-forward
port-forward1221×498 18.5 KB

Testing port 6000 with the WAN using YouGetSignal shows the port is closed.

I then turned off the router firewall completely and still no open port. What settings on my firewall need to be set to allow traffic?

Appreciate any help!

Was the cardano-node started when you tested it?

Thanks for the fast reply.

No, I’m following coincashew and am on the topology setup page https://www.coincashew.com/coins/overview-ada/guide-how-to-build-a-haskell-stakepool-node/part-ii-onfiguration/coniguring-stake-pool-topology
{
“Producers”: [
{
“addr”: “192.168.1.18”,
“port”: 6000,
“valency”: 1
},
{
“addr”: “relays-new.cardano-mainnet.iohk.io”,
“port”: 3001,
“valency”: 2
}
]
}

At the bottom of that page it says to set the topology and then forward the port and test. Can I start the node prior to configuring the air gap machine steps?

thanks

That order of things is strange.

You can only test if a port is correctly forwarded if there is also some service answering on that port.

I would just skip the test for now and continue the guide and then do the test after it tells you to start the node.
