Request for Node Permissioning in the ISBE Network

This document describes the procedure for requesting permissioning for a regular node within the ISBE network (dev, pre, or pro environments).
Permissioning is mandatory for a node to join the network's P2P and begin syncing.


1. Required Information

To request access, the participant must provide:

  • Node Name: <Node_Name>
  • Public IP: <NODE_IP>
  • Full Enode: enode://...
  • Environment: dev / pre / pro
  • Participating Entity: name of the requesting organization
  • Contact Person: name and email

The enode is generated during the node installation (see instalación-nodo-regular.md).


2. Request Procedure

  1. Prepare all the information above.
  2. Send the request through the channel indicated by the ISBE team (form or internal email).
  3. ISBE will validate:
    • the enode structure,
    • that the IP is accessible,
    • that the node belongs to an authorized use case.

If information is missing, ISBE will request corrections before proceeding.


3. Technical Validation by ISBE

The infrastructure team will perform:

  • Checking the enode and public keys.
  • Verification of P2P port accessibility (30303/tcp).
  • Integration of the node into the permissioning list of the corresponding environment.
  • Updating permissioners and propagation in the network.

Once completed, the node will be able to join the ISBE topology.


4. Confirmation and Syncing

When permissioning is active, ISBE will send a formal confirmation.

The node should:

  • Automatically connect to the permissioners,
  • Start receiving peers,
  • Sync block height with the network.

Check status with:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"net_peerCount","params":[],"id":1}' http://localhost:8545

5. Responsibilities of the Authorized Node

Once authorized, the participant is responsible for:

  • Keeping their node operational and updated.
  • Ensuring the security of the host server.
  • Avoiding anomalous behavior (massive transactions, spam, etc.).
  • Notifying ISBE of any changes in:
    • Public IP,
    • Node key,
    • Migrations or reinstallations.
