Regarding mesh provisioner

aditya

Hi,

I am establishing a Bluetooth mesh network with nordic boards (nRF52 DK) having one provisioner and many provisionee devices. But I have one doubt, if I remove the provisioner from the network, what happened to the network: 1). Is the whole network is breakdown? 2). Or some other node will try to become the provisioner.

Can someone help me figure out what is correct option?

Thanks

    I believe in general if you successfully provision & configure a mesh network with one provisioner & many provisionees and turn off the provisioner device, the mesh network will still function (i.e. the servers can still broadcast to each other), but you cannot add any more nodes to the network. This is because the provisioner adds nodes to the mesh network. You could possibly add this functionality yourself by having a hardcoded node that has provisioning information stored inside of it.
