Question

I'm trying to setup 2 node ethereum network in my local desktop one on port 30305 and another on 30305.

set up Node 1 -

$ ./build/bin/geth --datadir data/node1  --port 30304  --networkid 1234 init genesis/genesis.json

ip configuration of my laptop is -

$ ifconfig|grep netmask|awk '{print $2}'

127.0.0.1

Adding node2 to ethereum network -

As mentioned above, I have tried all combinations of [::], localhost, 127.0.0.1 and 10.0.2.15 which is actual ip config of my laptop but still I'm getting same error in the addpeer command.

Also, I haven't provided --nodiscover option while creating any of the nodes.

Anyone knows the reason for this error?

Answer 1

geth console it's plain javascript console. It's support javascript syntax, you're missing the quotes " ":

admin.addpeer("enode://c32........9@[::]:30305")
