Maybe stupid question but I am relative new to ETH.

This is my genesis.json for a private ETH node

{
  "config": {
    "chainId": 326432352,

    }
  },

}

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?

I found this https://hackernoon.com/set-up-a-private-ethereum-blockchain-and-deploy-your-first-solidity-smart-contract-on-the-caa8334c343d

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
