Help¶

Enable this if you want to perform active scanning using the local identity address as the scanner address. By default the stack will always use a non-resolvable private address (NRPA) in order to avoid disclosing local identity information. By not scanning with the identity address the scanner will receive directed advertise reports for for the local identity. If this use case is required, then enable this option.
