Questions and Answers
- 1.
TFTP?
- A.
21 UDP
- B.
43 TCP
- C.
69 UDP
- D.
52 TCP
Correct Answer
C. 69 UDPExplanation
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is a simple file transfer protocol that operates on UDP (User Datagram Protocol) port 69. UDP is a connectionless and unreliable protocol, which makes it suitable for TFTP as it doesn't require the overhead of establishing a connection and provides faster transmission of data. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented and reliable protocol that ensures data integrity and order, but it is not used for TFTP. Therefore, the correct answer is 69 UDP.Rate this question:

Port 53?
- A.
DHCP
- B.
DNS
- C.
IPX
- D.
SMTP
Correct Answer
B. DNSExplanation
Port 53 is commonly associated with the DNS (Domain Name System) protocol. DNS is responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses, allowing users to access websites using human-readable names instead of numerical IP addresses. Port 53 is used for DNS queries and responses, facilitating the communication between clients and DNS servers. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used for automatically assigning IP addresses to devices on a network. IPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange) is a network layer protocol used in Novell NetWare networks. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used for sending email messages.Rate this question:

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) ?
- A.
111
- B.
131
- C.
141
- D.
161
Correct Answer
D. 161Explanation
The correct answer is 161 because it is the standard port number used by SNMP for communication. SNMP is a protocol used for managing and monitoring network devices. The SNMP agent listens on port 161 for incoming requests from SNMP managers. Therefore, 161 is the correct answer as it represents the port number used by SNMP.Rate this question:

110 TCP
- A.
POP3
- B.
IMAP
- C.
HTTPS
- D.
NetBIOS
Correct Answer
A. POP3Explanation
POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) is a commonly used protocol for receiving email messages from a remote server. It allows users to download their emails from a mail server onto their local devices. Unlike IMAP, which keeps the emails on the server and synchronizes changes across multiple devices, POP3 typically downloads and removes the messages from the server. Therefore, the correct answer is POP3 because it is a protocol specifically designed for email retrieval.Rate this question:

- A.
NetBEUI
- B.
IPX/SPX
- C.
NetBIOS
- D.
BOOTP
- E.
SSL
Correct Answer
C. NetBIOSExplanation
The given sequence of numbers, 137, 138, 139, suggests a pattern of incrementing by 1. Similarly, NetBIOS is the only option in the list that follows this pattern, as the other options are unrelated protocols or services. Therefore, NetBIOS is the most logical choice to complete the sequence.Rate this question:

443?
- A.
SSL
- B.
HTTPS
- C.
IPSEC
- D.
VPN
Correct Answer
B. HTTPSExplanation
HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure. It is a secure version of HTTP, the protocol used for transmitting data over the internet. HTTPS ensures that the data being transmitted between a web browser and a website is encrypted and secure, protecting it from unauthorized access or tampering. It is commonly used for secure online transactions, such as online banking or shopping, where sensitive information like credit card details or personal data is involved.Rate this question:

- D.
25
Correct Answer
B. 22Explanation
SSH (Secure Shell) is a network protocol that provides a secure way to access and manage remote devices over an unsecured network. It uses encryption to protect the communication between the client and the server, ensuring confidentiality and integrity of data. Port 22 is the default port used by SSH for establishing a secure connection. Therefore, the correct answer is 22.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. HTTPExplanation
HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol, which is the protocol used for transmitting data over the internet. It is commonly used for accessing websites and retrieving web pages. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring files between a client and a server. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) is a network protocol used for obtaining an IP address. Kerberos is a network authentication protocol. Among the given options, HTTP is the most relevant protocol for transmitting data over the internet.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. TelnetExplanation
Telnet is a network protocol used to establish a remote connection with a host over the internet. It allows users to access and manage remote computers or devices. Telnet provides a command-line interface that enables users to execute commands on the remote system. Therefore, Telnet is the correct answer as it is a protocol used for remote communication.Rate this question:

213
- D.
123
Correct Answer
C. 213Explanation
The given sequence consists of three-digit numbers. Looking closely at the pattern, we can see that the first digit of each number follows a sequential order, starting from 2 and increasing by 1 each time. The second digit remains the same in each number. The third digit also follows a sequential order, starting from 1 and increasing by 2 each time. Therefore, the next number in the sequence would be 213, following the established pattern.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 88Explanation
Kerberos is a widely used authentication system in computer networks. It provides secure communication by using tickets to verify the identity of users and services. The number "88" does not seem to have any relevance to Kerberos or authentication systems in general. Therefore, it can be concluded that the number "88" is not a valid answer for the question.Rate this question:
