# Step 8: Register you node on the Stader network

### Please follow the given steps to register you node on the Stader network:

* Kindly ensure that you are running the register command only after the operator address has been whitelisted and the Stader team has given you a go ahead.
* Run **`~/bin/stader-permissioned-cli node register --on <operator name>`** to register your node on the Stader Network. Please replace \<operator name> with a name for your node in the command. It can be any variable, e.g. mynode123

{% hint style="success" %}
**If you wish to have a separate operator reward address**

By default, your operator address and operator reward address will be the same. However, if you wish to specify a different operator reward address, you can utilize the following registration command instead of the one mentioned above:

**`~/bin/stader-permissioned-cli node register --on <operator name> --ora <any valid Ethereum address accessible to you>`**.&#x20;

This command allows you to set a distinct Ethereum address as your operator reward address during registration.
{% endhint %}

## 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://staderlabs.gitbook.io/ethereum/node-operator/permissioned-node-operator/node-registration-and-adding-validators/step-8-register-you-node-on-the-stader-network.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.
