Wireshark only showing zigbee broadcast packets with nrf sniffer

[[email protected]]

Hi , I am using nrf52840 dongle with sniffer firmware which can be found here . I am following that tutorial and when I try to capture zigbee packets in wireshark , it only shows broadcast packets.

Hello,

Try sniffing the network before the first node is connecting (so you may have to reset the network). Do you use any OOB pairing methods to add your nodes? 

If the sniffer is present from the start, it should be able to pick up the keys, and decrypt the rest of the packets.

What devices do you use in your network? Only Nordic devices running examples from the SDK? Have you remembered to add the "Nordic SDK" key in your wireshark settings? How to do so is described in the readme/getting started for the 802.15.4 sniffer.

Best regards,

Edvin

I am also facing the same issue where Wireshark is only showing broadcast packets. I have added the keys in the Wireshark preferences but it does not help. Is there a way to resolve this issue?

Make sure you start the sniffer before the network is formed. If the sniffer doesn't pick up the formation, it will fail to pick up the keys used by the network.
