Protocols
Protocols
This protocols is used to transfer files between two computers.
What is File transfer Protocol (FTP)?
This is what OSI stands for.
What is Open Systems Interconnect?
183.241.65.112 is an IP in this class.
What is a class B IP address?
This type of network architecture allows direct communication between peers, without relying on a central server to manage connections or data transfer.
What is a peer-to-peer (P2P) network?
This command-line utility uses ICMP Echo Requests to test the reachability of a host and measures round-trip time for data packets.
What is ping?
This transport layer protocol ensures reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of data between applications, but introduces additional latency due to its handshake process.
What is the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)?
TCP & UDP operate at this layer. (Must name layer & include layer number!)
What is the Transport Layer (Layer 4)?
IPv4 and IPv6 contain these many bits each.
What are 32-bit and 128-bit addresses?
This type of network spans a large geographic area, often covering cities, countries, or even continents, and is commonly used to connect multiple LANs or MANs.
What is a WAN (Wide Area Network)?
This command shows current TCP/IP addressing and DNS information on a windows computer.
What is ipconfig?
This protocol is used for encrypted control of remote Windows computers.
What is Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)?
This layer is responsible for reformatting, compressing, and/or encrypting data in a way that the receiving application can read.
What is the Presentation layer?
Telnet uses this port.
What is port 23?
This boundary marks the point where an ISP's responsibility ends and the customer’s responsibility begins.
What is a demarcation point (demarc)?
This utility uses ICMP echo requests to trace the path from one networked node to another, identifying all intermediate hops between the two nodes.
What is trace route (tracert)?
This secure file transfer protocol operates over SSH, providing an encrypted method for transferring files between a client and server.
What is Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)?
UDP stands for this.
What is a Protocol Data Unit?
CIDR stands for this.
What is Classless Interdomain Routing?
This device is used to organize and manage network cables, allowing for easy connection and disconnection of network devices by providing a central point for cables to be routed and terminated.
What is a patch panel?
This command is used to query DNS servers to retrieve domain name or IP address information.
What is nslookup?
This network layer protocol, often used in VPNs, encapsulates packets inside IP packets to enable communication between networks that use different protocols.
What is Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE)?
Bits, Frames and Packets become more than just PDU’s at these respective layers.
What are the Physical (Bits), Data Link (Frames), and Network (Packets) layers.
These three types divide port numbers.
What are [1] well-known (0 - 1023), [2] registered (1024 - 49151), and [3] dynamic and private (49152 - 65535) ports
This acronym refers to a local network distribution point, typically used in large buildings or campuses, that connects to the main network backbone and handles data traffic within a specific area.
What is an Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF)?
In this mode, the nslookup command allows users to enter multiple queries interactively, while its counterpart mode runs a single query
What are interactive and non-interactive modes of nslookup?
