Configuration Files
This document explains the configurable properties of the node. Klaytn node package ships with good defaults and requires very little configuration. If you changed any settings of a running node, you must restart the node to reflect the changes.
SCN Configuration File location
kscnd.conffor configuring the Service Chain Consensus Node
The configuration file is located in the conf directory, whose default location depends on whether or not the installation is from an archive distribution (tar.gz) or a package distribution (RPM).
- For the archive distribution, the config directory location defaults to
$INSTALL_PATH/kscn-linux-amd64/conf/. - For the package distribution, the config directory defaults to
/etc/kscnd/conf/.
Configuration File Format
Below is a sample configuration file for the SCN that stores the blockchain data in the default location, which is ~/kscnd_home with the archive distribution, /var/kscnd/data with the package distribution.

The recommended txpool sizes for SCN are as follows.

Properties
The configuration file has the following configurable properties. SCN, SPN and SEN configuration files have the same properties.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| NETWORK | Network name that this node will join. This value is used when NETWORK_ID is not defined. ("cypress", "baobab") |
| NETWORK_ID | Klaytn network ID. If you create a local private network, you will define the network ID for your own. Following IDs are reserved for pre-configured networks. 8217 : Cypress (Main network) 1000 : Aspen test network 1001 : Baobab test network |

| TXPOOL_NONEXEC_SLOTS_ACCOUNT | Maximum number of non-executable transaction slots guaranteed per account. (Default: 64) |
| TXPOOL_LIFE_TIME | Maximum amount of time non-executable transactions is queued. (Default : 30m for SEN, 5m for SCN/SPN) |
| RPC_ENABLE | Enable the HTTP-RPC server if it is set to 1. |
