-Bootnodes and static nodes are parallel methods for finding peers. Depending on your use case, you can use only bootnodes, only static nodes, or both bootnodes and static nodes. For example, you run multiple nodes on Mainnet (discovery using bootnodes), but want to ensure your nodes are always connected (using static nodes).

 To find peers, configure one or more [bootnodes](../../../private-networks/how-to/configure/bootnodes.md). To configure a specific set of peer connections, use static nodes.
