+
+# Configure Besu
+
+Besu comes with a [default configuration](#default-configuration) that is suitable for staking.
+
+You can override the default values by specifying [configuration options](../../reference/cli/options.md) on the command line, as environment variables, or in a [TOML configuration file](#toml-configuration-file) that can be reused across node startups.
+
+You can also use a [pre-configured profile](profile.md) for some common use cases or create and apply a [custom profile](profile.md#load-external-profiles).
+
+## Configuration order of precedence
+
+For options specified in multiple places, the order of precedence is as follows:
+
+1. Command line
+2. Environment variable
+3. Configuration file specified by `--config-file`
+4. [Pre-configured profile](profile.md) specified by `--profile`
+5. Default values (used if no other configuration source is available)
+
+For example, if you specify a `config.toml` configuration file and `staker` profile, and an option
+is not found in the environment variables, Besu looks for it in `config.toml`.
+If the option is not found in `config.toml`, Besu looks for it in `staker.toml`.
+If the option is not found in `staker.toml`, Besu uses the default value for that option.
+
+## TOML configuration file
+
+:::note
+The configuration file is used for node-level settings. You can specify network-wide settings in the [genesis file](../../concepts/genesis-file.md).
+:::
+
+Specify the configuration file using the [`--config-file`](../../reference/cli/options.md#config-file) option.
+The configuration file must be a valid TOML file composed of key/value pairs. Each key is the same as the corresponding command line option name without the leading dashes (`--`).
+
+Values must conform to TOML specifications for string, numbers, arrays, and booleans. Specific differences between the command line and the TOML file format are:
+
+- Comma-separated lists on the command line are string arrays in the TOML file.
+- Enclose file paths, hexadecimal numbers, URLs, and <host:port> values in quotes.
+
+Table headings are ignored in TOML files. If you specify a valid Besu option under a table heading in the configuration file, Besu ignores the table heading and reads the option in the same way it does for options not under table headings.
+
+:::tip
+
+The [command line reference](../../reference/cli/options.md) includes configuration file examples for each option.
+
+:::

+## Default configuration
+
+The following tables describe important default values of Besu's configuration.
+When using the default configuration, Besu is optimized for staking.
+You can extend these defaults using a [profile](profile.md).
+
+For example, extending the default configuration using the [staker profile](profile.md#staker-profile) directs Besu to use Mainnet, creating a staking-optimized node ready to run with a [validator and consensus client](../../concepts/node-clients.md#consensus-clients).
