# Dedicated Address

### Deploy Sync Node With Dedicated P2P Address

To enable this, initially we need to create our own P2P Zetrix address. We can use our Zetrix wallet to generate the Zetrix address. Alternatively, we can use the "ztx" binary to generate the address by running the following command.

```
cd /usr/local/ztxchain/bin && ./ztx --create-account
```

```
{
   "address" : "ZTX3QCcugyyMMpn9iXmkBbkLyip5HSaiqrjsS",
   "private_key" : "privBwvertKepm1su9fUVUurSDCUvNcKtm5Csah8iYQfrXV1mdJVvMMB",
   "private_key_aes" : "9679f6976f7dcb6360e679a8e34fed89ba293190920e3d37f6acb304a470a23d4ae4a5a81d68c0c41f9e85056071d30a26a0511b5c825aa8c14caea301c2350b",
   "private_key_raw" : "9cdec3bd43e7195e2ce487e120ed1967abc2958a2f6e749bc770002891f2eca7",
   "public_key" : "b0016dfbca59a3ca487f084c957de666439c4a030ddb991e3f54bff4b66ff735a7b1c096ce68",
   "public_key_raw" : "6dfbca59a3ca487f084c957de666439c4a030ddb991e3f54bff4b66ff735a7b1",
   "sign_type" : "ed25519"
}
```

Now we are able to replace our P2P address with the newly generated address. To replace, navigate to the config file (ztx.json), open it using vim or nano editor.

```
vi /usr/local/ztxchain/config/ztx.json
```

Change the following P2P and validator section. Copy the "address" to "p2p.address" and "private\_key\_aes" to "p2p.node\_private\_key" attribute in the json file.

After replacing the address, you may restart the node by running the following command.

```
cd /usr/local/ztxchain/scripts && ./ztx restart
```

Check the node status again to ensure the node is running.

```
./ztx status
```

### Deploy Validator Node With Dedicated Validator Address

In order to set up a validator node, we need to manually replace the validator address and private key before registering our node and stake at <https://validator.zetrix.com/>.

To set the validator address and private key, follow the same method as above to generate a new address. Copy the "address" to "ledger.validation\_address" and "private\_key\_aes" to "ledger.validation\_private\_key" attribute in the configuration json file (ztx.json).

```
"ledger": {
    "validation_address": "ZTX3RvGfvmNv9k5UQdZo4PfRrjSMh1wckW2nq",
    "validation_private_key": "cf17b54fda991ef1968620111049fa959752ab721667a6f455ed385dc964210ec9064d69e6aa2c79d982dc6bbaf22e3ca2efa8704068abe10f0887a99a2c8792",
    "max_trans_per_ledger": 1000,
    "hash_type": 0,
    "hardfork_points": [],
    "tx_pool":{
        "queue_limit":10240,
        "queue_per_account_txs_limit":64
    }
},
```

Then, you may rerun the node using the restart command as shown above.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.zetrix.com/en/node-and-validator/node-installation/dedicated-address.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
