Connecting to an existing chain

If a chain is created in a private network, other nodes can then connect to the created node and perform operations on the same blockchain. Any node can connect to the chain using the following command:

$ multichaind chain1@[ip-address]:[port]  

Any remote node in the network can connect to the chain using the IP address and the MultiChain port. Each MultiChain daemon process assigns a different port number to its server. If the connect permission of the chain configuration is not set to open, then each node in the network has to be explicitly given permission by the admin, as follows:

$ multichain-cli chain1 grant [node-address] connect  

Node-address is the public address, or wallet address, of the node, which ...
