Maybe stupid question but I am relative new to ETH.
This is my genesis.json for a private ETH node

chainId
is some random number. But I would like to use KOVAN or ROPSTEN ETH node for testing. I also do not want to retrieve all ETH blocks from the beginning but I would like to start syncing from some specific block. Is possible?
The following network id’s are reserved for specific Ethereum networks.
0: Olympic, Ethereum public pre-release testnet 1: Frontier, Homestead, Metropolis, the Ethereum public main network 1: Classic, the (un)forked public Ethereum Classic main network, chain ID 61 1: Expanse, an alternative Ethereum implementation, chain ID 2 2: Morden, the public Ethereum testnet, now Ethereum Classic testnet 3: Ropsten, the public cross-client Ethereum testnet 4: Rinkeby, the public Geth PoA testnet 8: Ubiq, the public Gubiq main network with flux difficulty chain ID 8 42: Kovan, the public Parity PoA testnet 77: Sokol, the public POA Network testnet 99: Core, the public POA Network main network 7762959: Musicoin, the music blockchain 61717561: Aquachain, ASIC resistant chain
but not sure if is correct? What about MAINNET?
Thank you for all your answers
