Stake pool course - topology files

Staking & Delegation Operate a Stake Pool
1

Hi all,
I’m new to this forum. I’m going through the stake pool course and I’m on the page where I have to configure the block-producing node and the relay node. (Configure topology files for block-producing and relay nodes. - Stake pool course)

For the block producing node, it was easy enough to get the ip address of the relay node with the ifconfig command. For the port, I just decided on 3001 since netstat did not show that port in use (is there a better way to select the port?). I set the valency to 1, is there more info somewhere on how to set the valency?

For configuring the relay node, there is a link on the page which points to a json file with a list of peer nodes to connect to(https://explorer.cardano-testnet.iohkdev.io/relays/topology.json). But this file has info like addr, port, continent and state. There is no valency. Is this file correct?

Thanks,
Vinay
