mesh sniffer - NRF52840

[Domneck]

Hi All,

I'm using Ellysis sniffer for debugging my ble mesh network.

I've made network setup using generic on/off application and I'm able to communicate and capture the sniffer log.

In sniffer log I see some packets are with locked symbol and how do I see complete packet. 

Screenshot is attached and what IV index is used in the application and what its?

Hi. 

Talked to one of my colleagues; 

You need to open the form with Mesh Security options and add all your pairs key + IV index. That is the same for all kind of keys (network, application, device). After that, the sniffer will decrypt and specialize all Mesh traffic. 

Best regards, 
Joakim

Thanks for reply..

Yes I've found that option in application and able to decrypt the packet.

I dint understand what is this IV index and why it's used.
