Troubleshooting Repeater

Connectivity test

In order to scan a target on a local network in the Repeater mode, you first need to make sure that a registered (created) Repeater has a proper access to the target.
You can use the bright-cli configure command to run a simple connectivity testing process.

Prerequisites

• The machine on which the Repeater will be run must have the latest version of the Bright CLI.
• A valid API key (Repeater API Token) with the following scopes: bot, scans:run, scans:read, scans:stop.
  You can create an organization API key or a personal API key.
• A valid Repeater ID. To register (create) the Repeater, see Managing Repeaters.

Step-by-step guide

1. Run the command bright-cli configure in your console.
   The Bright Network Testing wizard is launched.

2. Enter your Repeater ID and Repeater API Token in the relevant fields.

3. The CLI runs the first stage of the external communication diagnostics:

   • Validating that the connection to amq.app.brightsec.com:5672 at port 5672 is open is required for the Repeater to reach the scan engine.
   • Validating that the connection to app.brightsec.com at port is open is required to reach the Bright API endpoints.
   • Verifying provided Token and Repeater ID is required to validate the credentials.

   The diagnostics results are provided next to the validation parameters.

        Once the external communication diagnostics is completed, the CLI switches to the validation of the Repeater         communication with local target application(s).

4. Enter the target URL(s) to test if the Repeater can reach them.

        The internal communication diagnostics starts, and the Repeater tries to reach the specified applications.

5. Once the diagnostics is completed, you can see how many targets cannot be reached by the Repeater.
   To exit the wizard, close the console.
