+### How to Open Ports
+
+The steps to do port forwarding depends on the router, but the general steps are given below:
+1. Determine the default gateway IP:
+- On Linux: open a terminal and run `ip route | grep default`, the result should look something similar to `default via 192.168.50.1 dev wlp2s0 proto dhcp metric 600`. The `192.168.50.1` is your router management default gateway IP. 
+- On MacOS: open a terminal and run `netstat -nr|grep default` and it should return the default gateway IP.
+- On Windows: open a command prompt and run `ipconfig` and look for the `Default Gateway` which will show you the gateway IP.
+
+  The default gateway IP usually looks like 192.168.X.X. Once you obtain the IP, enter it to a web browser and it will lead you to the router management page.
+
+2. Login to the router management page. The login credentials are usually available in the manual or the router, or it can be found on a sticker underneath the router. You can also try the login credentials for some common router brands listed [here](https://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/general-port-forwarding-guide/).
+
+3. Navigate to the port forward settings in your router. The exact step depends on the router, but typically it will fall under the "Advanced" section, under the name "port forwarding" or "virtual server". 
+
+4. Configure a port forwarding rule as below:
+- Protocol: select `TCP/UDP` or `BOTH`
+- External port: `9000`
+- Internal port: `9000`
+- IP address: Usually there is a dropdown list for you to select the device. Choose the device that is running Lighthouse
+
+5. To check that you have successfully open the ports, go to [yougetsignal](https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/) and enter `9000` in the `port number`. If it shows "open", then you have successfully set up port forwarding. If it shows "closed", double check your settings, and also check that you have allowed firewall rules on port 9000.

+## Beacon Node
+
+
+
+### <a name="bn-deposit-contract"></a> I see a warning about "Syncing deposit contract block cache" or an error about "updating deposit contract cache", what should I do?
+
+The error can be a warning:
+
+```
+Nov 30 21:04:28.268 WARN Syncing deposit contract block cache   est_blocks_remaining: initializing deposits, service: slot_notifier
+```
+
+or an error:
+
+```
+ERRO Error updating deposit contract cache   error: Failed to get remote head and new block ranges: EndpointError(FarBehind), retry_millis: 60000, service: deposit_contract_rpc
+```
+
+This log indicates that your beacon node is downloading blocks and deposits
+from your execution node. When the `est_blocks_remaining` is
+`initializing_deposits`, your node is downloading deposit logs. It may stay in
+this stage for several minutes. Once the deposits logs are finished
+downloading, the `est_blocks_remaining` value will start decreasing.
+
+It is perfectly normal to see this log when starting a node for the first time
+or after being off for more than several minutes.
+
+If this log continues appearing during operation, it means your execution client is still syncing and it cannot provide Lighthouse the information about the deposit contract yet. What you need to do is to make sure that the execution client is up and syncing. Once the execution client is synced, the error will disappear.
+
+### <a name="bn-ee"></a> I see beacon logs showing `WARN: Execution engine called failed`, what should I do?
+
+The `WARN Execution engine called failed` log is shown when the beacon node cannot reach the execution engine. When this warning occurs, it will be followed by a detailed message. A frequently encountered example of the error message is:
+
+`error: Reqwest(reqwest::Error { kind: Request, url: Url { scheme: "http", cannot_be_a_base: false, username: "", password: None, host: Some(Ipv4(127.0.0.1)), port: Some(8551), path: "/", query: None, fragment: None }, source: TimedOut }), service: exec`
+
+which says `TimedOut` at the end of the message. This means that the execution engine has not responded in time to the beacon node. One option is to add the flag `--execution-timeout-multiplier 3` to the beacon node. However, if the error persists, it is worth digging further to find out the cause. There are a few reasons why this can occur:
+1. The execution engine is not synced. Check the log of the execution engine to make sure that it is synced. If it is syncing, wait until it is synced and the error will disappear. You will see the beacon node logs `INFO Execution engine online` when it is synced. 
+1. The computer is overloaded. Check the CPU and RAM usage to see if it has overloaded. You can use `htop` to check for CPU and RAM usage.
+1. Your SSD is slow. Check if your SSD is in "The Bad" list [here](https://gist.github.com/yorickdowne/f3a3e79a573bf35767cd002cc977b038). If your SSD is in "The Bad" list, it means it cannot keep in sync to the network and you may want to consider upgrading to a better SSD.
+
+If the reason for the error message is caused by no. 1 above, you may want to look further. If the execution engine is out of sync suddenly, it is usually caused by ungraceful shutdown. The common causes for ungraceful shutdown are:
+- Power outage. If power outages are an issue at your place, consider getting a UPS to avoid ungraceful shutdown of services. 
+- The service file is not stopped properly. To overcome this, make sure that the process is stopped properly, e.g., during client updates. 
+- Out of memory (oom) error. This can happen when the system memory usage has reached its maximum and causes the execution engine to be killed. When this occurs, the log file will show `Main process exited, code=killed, status=9/KILL`.  You can also run `sudo journalctl -a --since "18 hours ago" | grep -i "killed process` to confirm that the execution client has been killed due to oom. If you are using geth as the execution client, a short term solution is to reduce the resources used. For example, you can reduce the cache by adding the flag `--cache 2048`. If the oom occurs rather frequently, a long term solution is to increase the memory capacity of the computer.
+
+### <a name="bn-download-historical"></a> My beacon node is stuck at downloading historical block using checkpoint sync. What should I do?
+
+After checkpoint forwards sync completes, the beacon node will start to download historical blocks. The log will look like:
+
+```bash
+INFO Downloading historical blocks           est_time: --, distance: 4524545 slots (89 weeks 5 days), service: slot_notifier
+```
+
+If the same log appears every minute and you do not see progress in downloading historical blocks, you can try one of the followings:
+ 
+   - Check the number of peers you are connected to. If you have low peers (less than 50), try to do port forwarding on the port 9000 TCP/UDP to increase peer count.
+   - Restart the beacon node.
+
+
+### <a name="bn-duplicate"></a> I proposed a block but the beacon node shows `could not publish message` with error `duplicate` as below, should I be worried?
+
+```
+INFO Block from HTTP API already known`
+WARN Could not publish message error: Duplicate, service: libp2p
+```
+
+This error usually happens when users are running mev-boost. The relay will publish the block on the network before returning it back to you. After the relay published the block on the network, it will propagate through nodes, and it happens quite often that your node will receive the block from your connected peers via gossip first, before getting the block from the relay, hence the message `duplicate`. 
+
+In short, it is nothing to worry about.
+
+### <a name="bn-optimistic"></a> I see beacon node logs `Head is optimistic`, and I am missing attestations. What should I do?
+
+The log looks like:
+
+```
+WARN Head is optimistic       execution_block_hash: 0x47e7555f1d4215d1ad409b1ac188b008fcb286ed8f38d3a5e8078a0af6cbd6e1, info: chain not fully verified, block and attestation production disabled until execution engine syncs, service: slot_notifier
+```
+
+It means the beacon node will follow the chain, but it will not be able to attest or produce blocks. This is because the execution client is not synced, so the beacon chain cannot verify the authenticity of the chain head, hence the word `optimistic`. What you need to do is to make sure that the execution client is up and syncing. Once the execution client is synced, the error will disappear.
+
+### <a name="bn-timeout"></a> My beacon node logs `CRIT Beacon block processing error error: ValidatorPubkeyCacheLockTimeout, service: beacon`, what should I do? 
+
+An example of the log is shown below:
+
+```
+CRIT Beacon block processing error           error: ValidatorPubkeyCacheLockTimeout, service: beacon
+WARN BlockProcessingFailure                  outcome: ValidatorPubkeyCacheLockTimeout, msg: unexpected condition in processing block.
+```
+
+A `Timeout` error suggests that the computer may be overloaded at the moment, for example, the execution client is still syncing. You may use the flag `--disable-lock-timeouts` to silence this error, although it will not fix the underlying slowness. Nevertheless, this is a relatively harmless log, and the error should go away once the resources used are back to normal. 
+
+### <a name="bn-missing-beacon"></a> My beacon node logs `WARN BlockProcessingFailure outcome: MissingBeaconBlock`, what should I do?
+
+An example of the full log is shown below:
+
+```
+WARN BlockProcessingFailure                  outcome: MissingBeaconBlock(0xbdba211f8d72029554e405d8e4906690dca807d1d7b1bc8c9b88d7970f1648bc), msg: unexpected condition in processing block.
+```
+
+`MissingBeaconBlock` suggests that the database has corrupted. You should wipe the database and use [Checkpoint Sync](./checkpoint-sync.md) to resync the beacon chain. 
+
+### <a name="bn-download-slow"></a> After checkpoint sync, the progress of `downloading historical blocks` is slow. Why?
+
+This is a normal behaviour. Since [v4.1.0](https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/releases/tag/v4.1.0), Lighthouse implements rate-limited backfill sync to mitigate validator performance issues after a checkpoint sync. This is not something to worry about since backfill sync / historical data is not required for staking. However, if you opt to sync the chain as fast as possible, you can add the flag `--disable-backfill-rate-limiting` to the beacon node.
+
+### <a name="bn-http"></a> My beacon node logs `WARN Error processing HTTP API request`, what should I do?
+
+This warning usually comes with an http error code. Some examples are given below:
+
+1. The log shows:
+
+```
+WARN Error processing HTTP API request       method: GET, path: /eth/v1/validator/attestation_data, status: 500 Internal Server Error, elapsed: 305.65µs
+```
+
+The error is `500 Internal Server Error`. This suggests that the execution client is not synced. Once the execution client is synced, the error will disappear.
+
+2. The log shows:
+
+```
+WARN Error processing HTTP API request       method: POST, path: /eth/v1/validator/duties/attester/199565, status: 503 Service Unavailable, elapsed: 96.787µs
+```
+
+The error is `503 Service Unavailable`. This means that the beacon node is still syncing. When this happens, the validator client will log:
+
+```
+ERRO Failed to download attester duties      err: FailedToDownloadAttesters("Some endpoints failed, num_failed: 2 http://localhost:5052/ => Unavailable(NotSynced), http://localhost:5052/ => RequestFailed(ServerMessage(ErrorMessage { code: 503, message: \"SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE: beacon node is syncing
+```
+
+This means that the validator client is sending requests to the beacon node. However, as the beacon node is still syncing, it is therefore unable to fulfil the request. The error will disappear once the beacon node is synced.

-### Do I need to set up any port mappings?
+### <a name="vc-redundancy"></a> Can I use redundancy in my staking setup?
+
+You should **never** use duplicate/redundant validator keypairs or validator clients (i.e., don't
+duplicate your JSON keystores and don't run `lighthouse vc` twice). This will lead to slashing.
+
+However, there are some components which can be configured with redundancy. See the
+[Redundancy](./redundancy.md) guide for more information.
+
+### <a name="vc-missed-attestations"></a> I am missing attestations. Why? 
+The first thing is to ensure both consensus and execution clients are synced with the network. If they are synced, there may still be some issues with the node setup itself that is causing the missed attestations. Check the setup to ensure that:
+- the clock is synced
+- the computer has sufficient resources and is not overloaded
+- the internet is working well
+- you have sufficient peers
+
+You can see more information on the [Ethstaker KB](https://ethstaker.gitbook.io/ethstaker-knowledge-base/help/missed-attestations). Once the above points are good, missing attestation should be a rare occurrence. 
+
+### <a name="vc-head-vote"></a> Sometimes I miss the attestation head vote, resulting in penalty. Is this normal?
+
+In general, it is unavoidable to have some penalties occasionally. This is particularly the case when you are assigned to attest on the first slot of an epoch and if the proposer of that slot releases the block late, then you will get penalised for missing the target and head votes. Your attestation performance does not only depend on your own setup, but also on everyone elses performance.
+
+### <a name="vc-exit"></a> Can I submit a voluntary exit message without running a beacon node?
+
+Yes. Beaconcha.in provides the tool to broadcast the message. You can create the voluntary exit message file with [ethdo](https://github.com/wealdtech/ethdo/releases/tag/v1.30.0) and submit the message via the [beaconcha.in](https://beaconcha.in/tools/broadcast) website. A guide on how to use `ethdo` to perform voluntary exit can be found [here](https://github.com/eth-educators/ethstaker-guides/blob/main/voluntary-exit.md).
+
+It is also noted that you can submit your BLS-to-execution-change message to update your withdrawal credentials from type `0x00` to `0x01` using the same link.
+
+If you would like to still use Lighthouse to submit the message, you will need to run a beacon node and an execution client. For the beacon node, you can use checkpoint sync to quickly sync the chain under a minute. On the other hand, the execution client can be syncing and *needs not be synced*. This implies that it is possible to broadcast a voluntary exit message within a short time by quickly spinning up a node.
+
+### <a name="vc-resource"></a> Does increasing the number of validators increase the CPU and other computer resources used?
+
+A computer with hardware specifications stated in the [Recommended System Requirements](./installation.md#recommended-system-requirements) can run hundreds validators with only marginal increase in cpu usage. When validators are active, there is a bit of an increase in resources used from validators 0-64, because you end up subscribed to more subnets. After that, the increase in resources plateaus when the number of validators go from 64 to ~500.
+
+### <a name="vc-reimport"></a> I want to add new validators. Do I have to reimport the existing keys?
+
+No. You can just import new validator keys to the destination directory. If the `validator_keys` folder contains existing keys, that's fine as well because Lighthouse will skip importing existing keys.
+
+### <a name="vc-import"></a> Do I have to stop `lighthouse vc` when importing new validator keys?
+
+Generally yes.
+
+If you do not want to stop `lighthouse vc`, you can use the [key manager API](./api-vc-endpoints.md) to import keys.
+
+## Network, Monitoring and Maintenance
+
+### <a name="net-peer"></a> I have a low peer count and it is not increasing
+
+If you cannot find *ANY* peers at all, it is likely that you have incorrect
+network configuration settings. Ensure that the network you wish to connect to
+is correct (the beacon node outputs the network it is connecting to in the
+initial boot-up log lines). On top of this, ensure that you are not using the
+same `datadir` as a previous network, i.e., if you have been running the
+`Goerli` testnet and are now trying to join a new network but using the same
+`datadir` (the `datadir` is also printed out in the beacon node's logs on
+boot-up).
+
+If you find yourself with a low peer count and it's not reaching the target you
+expect, there are a few things to check on:
+
+1. Ensure that port forward was correctly set up as described [here](./advanced_networking.md#nat-traversal-port-forwarding).
+
+To check that the ports are forwarded, run the command:
+
+  ```bash
+  curl http://localhost:5052/lighthouse/nat
+  ```
+
+It should return `{"data":true}`. If it returns `{"data":false}`, you may want to double check if the port forward was correctly set up.
+
+If the ports are open, you should have incoming peers. To check that you have incoming peers, run the command:
+
+  ```bash
+  curl localhost:5052/lighthouse/peers | jq '.[] | select(.peer_info.connection_direction=="Incoming")'
+  ```
+
+If you have incoming peers, it should return a lot of data containing information of peers. If the response is empty, it means that you have no incoming peers and there the ports are not open. You may want to double check if the port forward was correctly set up.
+
+2. Check that you do not lower the number of peers using the flag `--target-peers`. The default is 80. A lower value set will lower the maximum number of peers your node can connect to, which may potentially interrupt the validator performance. We recommend users to leave the `--target peers` untouched to keep a diverse set of peers. 
+
+3. Ensure that you have a quality router for the internet connection. For example, if you connect the router to many devices including the node, it may be possible that the router cannot handle all routing tasks, hence struggling to keep up the number of peers. Therefore, using a quality router for the node is important to keep a healthy number of peers.

 Apart from using block explorers, you may use the "Validator Monitor" built into Lighthouse which
 provides logging and Prometheus/Grafana metrics for individual validators. See [Validator
 Monitoring](./validator-monitoring.md) for more information. Lighthouse has also developed Lighthouse UI (Siren) to monitor performance, see [Lighthouse UI (Siren)](./lighthouse-ui.md).
 
-### I see beacon logs showing `WARN: Execution engine called failed`, what should I do?
+### <a name="net-bn-vc"></a> My beacon node and validator client are on different servers. How can I point the validator client to the beacon node?
+
+The settings are as follows:
+
+1. On the beacon node: 
+   
+   Specify `lighthouse bn --http-address local_IP` so that the beacon node is listening on the local network rather than on the `localhost`. 
+
+1. On the validator client:
+
+   Use the flag `--beacon-nodes` to point to the beacon node. For example, `lighthouse vc --beacon-nodes http://local_IP:5052` where `local_IP` is the local IP address of the beacon node and `5052` is the default `http-port` of the beacon node.
+
+   You can test that the setup is working with by running the following command on the validator client host:
+
+   ```bash
+   curl "http://local_IP:5052/eth/v1/node/version"
+   ```
+
+   You can refer to [Redundancy](./redundancy.md) for more information.
+   
+   It is also worth noting that the `--beacon-nodes` flag can also be used for redundancy of beacon nodes. For example, let's say you have a beacon node and a validator client running on the same host, and a second beacon node on another server as a backup. In this case, you can use `lighthouse vc --beacon-nodes http://localhost:5052, http://local_IP:5052` on the validator client.
+
+### <a name="net-ip"></a> Should I do anything to the beacon node or validator client settings if I have a relocation of the node / change of IP address?
+No. Lighthouse will auto-detect the change and update your Ethereum Node Record (ENR). You just need to make sure you are not manually setting the ENR with `--enr-address` (which, for common use cases, this flag is not used).

+### <a name="misc-prune"></a> Does Lighthouse have pruning function like the execution client to save disk space?
+
+There is no pruning of Lighthouse database for now. However, since v4.2.0, a feature to only sync back to the weak subjectivity point (approximately 5 months) when syncing via a checkpoint sync was added. This will help to save disk space since the previous behaviour will sync back to the genesis by default. 
+
+### <a name="misc-freezer"></a> Can I use a HDD for the freezer database and only have the hot db on SSD?
+
+Yes, you can do so by using the flag `--freezer-dir /path/to/freezer_db` in the beacon node.

-The `WARN Execution engine called failed` log is shown when the beacon node cannot reach the execution engine. When this warning occurs, it will be followed by a detailed message. A frequently encountered example of the error message is:
 
-`error: Reqwest(reqwest::Error { kind: Request, url: Url { scheme: "http", cannot_be_a_base: false, username: "", password: None, host: Some(Ipv4(127.0.0.1)), port: Some(8551), path: "/", query: None, fragment: None }, source: TimedOut }), service: exec`
 
-which says `TimedOut` at the end of the message. This means that the execution engine has not responded in time to the beacon node. There are a few reasons why this can occur:
-1. The execution engine is not synced. Check the log of the execution engine to make sure that it is synced. If it is syncing, wait until it is synced and the error will disappear. You will see the beacon node logs `INFO Execution engine online` when it is synced. 
-1. The computer is overloaded. Check the CPU and RAM usage to see if it has overloaded. You can use `htop` to check for CPU and RAM usage.
-1. Your SSD is slow. Check if your SSD is in "The Bad" list [here](https://gist.github.com/yorickdowne/f3a3e79a573bf35767cd002cc977b038). If your SSD is in "The Bad" list, it means it cannot keep in sync to the network and you may want to consider upgrading to a better SSD.
 
-If the reason for the error message is caused by no. 1 above, you may want to look further. If the execution engine is out of sync suddenly, it is usually caused by ungraceful shutdown. The common causes for ungraceful shutdown are:
-- Power outage. If power outages are an issue at your place, consider getting a UPS to avoid ungraceful shutdown of services. 
-- The service file is not stopped properly. To overcome this, make sure that the process is stop properly, e.g., during client updates. 
-- Out of memory (oom) error. This can happen when the system memory usage has reached its maximum and causes the execution engine to be killed. When this occurs, the log file will show `Main process exited, code=killed, status=9/KILL`.  You can also run `sudo journalctl -a --since "18 hours ago" | grep -i "killed process` to confirm that the execution client has been killed due to oom. If you are using geth as the execution client, a short term solution is to reduce the resources used, for example: (1) reduce the cache by adding the flag `--cache 2048` (2) connect to less peers using the flag `--maxpeers 10`. If the oom occurs rather frequently, a long term solution is to increase the memory capacity of the computer.
 
 
-### How do I check or update my withdrawal credentials? 
-Withdrawals will be available after the Capella/Shanghai upgrades on 12<sup>th</sup> April 2023. To check that if you are eligible for withdrawals, go to [Staking launchpad](https://launchpad.ethereum.org/en/withdrawals), enter your validator index and click `verify on mainnet`:
-- `withdrawals enabled` means you will automatically receive withdrawals to the withdrawal address that you set.
-- `withdrawals not enabled` means you will need to update your withdrawal credentials from `0x00` type to `0x01` type. The common way to do this is using `Staking deposit CLI` or `ethdo`, with the instructions available [here](https://launchpad.ethereum.org/en/withdrawals#update-your-keys). 
-
-For the case of `withdrawals not enabled`, you can update your withdrawal credentials **anytime**, and there is no deadline for that. The catch is that as long as you do not update your withdrawal credentials, your rewards in the beacon chain will continue to be locked in the beacon chain. Only after you update the withdrawal credentials, will the rewards be withdrawn to the withdrawal address.
 
 
-### I am missing attestations. Why? 
-The first thing is to ensure both consensus and execution clients are synced with the network. If they are synced, there may still be some issues with the node setup itself that is causing the missed attestations. Check the setup to ensure that:
-- the clock is synced
-- the computer has sufficient resources and is not overloaded
-- the internet is working well
-- you have sufficient peers
-
-You can see more information on the [Ethstaker KB](https://ethstaker.gitbook.io/ethstaker-knowledge-base/help/missed-attestations). Once the above points are good, missing attestation should be a rare occurance. 
-
-### Sometimes I miss the attestation head vote, resulting in penalty. Is this normal?
-
-In general it is unavoiadable to have some penalties occasionally. This is particularly the case when you are assigned to attest on the first slot of an epoch and if the proposer of that slot releases the block late, then you will get penalised for missing the target and head votes. Your attestation performance does not only depend on your own setup, but also on everyone else's performance.
 
 
-### My beacon node is stuck at downloading historical block using checkpoing sync. What can I do?
 
-Check the number of peers you are connected to. If you have low peers (less than 50), try to do port forwarding on the port 9000 TCP/UDP to increase peer count.
