Just for the records: According to this discussion, applications should use mesh_opt_core_adv_set/get() rather than network_opt_set/get() to enable/disable the relay feature.

There shouldn't be any reasons to reboot the node after enabling the relay feature.

Dear Joakim, i have found this function for changing the rely mode of the node in the module network.c:

uint32_t network_opt_set(nrf_mesh_opt_id_t id, const nrf_mesh_opt_t * p_opt)

calling it with the nrf_mesh_opt_id_t id = NRF_MESH_OPT_NET_RELAY_ENABLE, it seems to work (the function returns NRF_SUCCESS). If i also read the new configuration with the function network_opt_get i see that the new configuration seems to be accepted. Do you think it's better to reboot the node after changing the configuration?

Hi Joakim, thanks for your answer. The funcion nrf_mesh_opt_set is deprecated, can i use it anyway?

Hi.

The nrf_mesh_opt_set() will allow you to enable or disable the relay feature.
In the light switch examples, you can find the MESH_FEATURE_RELAY_ENABLED define. If that is set to 1, the relay feature is enabled.

Best regards,
Joakim
