About openthead cli

I need to integrate 30 nodes using openthead cli , with each node connected with 8 bit controller (not computer) , to form standalone mesh network

Is it necessary to bring down tread and then recreate mesh network again , starting again from comissioning  ,even if single node get power reset as mentioned in

codelabs.developers.google.com/.../

  • Hi,

    No, that should not be necessary. The Thread protocol provides a network with no single point of failure. If a node goes down, another node will try to take over its role (another router will become the leader if the leader goes down, end nodes will try to attach to another parent router, etc). I believe that these troubleshooting instructions are intended for clearing up any issues that were introduced during the network configurations. The stack will store network configurations in persistent storage (flash) for reattachment after a power loss.

    Best regards,
