    • 1723

    • 88

    • 162

    Correct Answer
    A. 1723
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1723. VPN (Virtual Private Network) encrypts and encapsulates data to ensure secure transmission over a network. Port 1723 is commonly used for VPN communication using the PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) protocol. PPTP establishes a secure connection by encapsulating data within IP packets and encrypting it, providing a secure and private communication channel.

    Correct Answer
    A. 50
    Explanation
    The given answer, 50, is the correct answer because it is the port number commonly used for PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) VPN connections. PPTP is a protocol that allows secure and private communication between a client and a server over the internet. Port numbers are used to identify specific processes or services on a network, and port 50 is specifically assigned to PPTP VPN connections.

    Correct Answer
    A. 636
    Explanation
    LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a protocol used for accessing and managing directory information services. The given options represent different ports commonly used for LDAP communication. LDAP over TLS/SSL, also known as LDAPS, is a secure version of LDAP that uses SSL/TLS encryption to protect the data transmitted between the client and server. Port 636 is the standard port for LDAPS communication. Therefore, the correct answer is 636.

    Explanation
    BOOTP is a network protocol that allows a client to obtain its IP address automatically from a server. It stands for Bootstrap Protocol. The numbers 59, 47, 67, and 80 seem to be irrelevant to the question and do not provide any context or relation to BOOTP. Therefore, the correct answer is 67, which is likely the correct answer based on the given information.

    A. 1701
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1701. L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) is a protocol used for creating virtual private networks (VPNs). It operates at the transport layer of the OSI model and uses UDP port 1701 for establishing and maintaining the tunnel between the client and server. This port is specifically designated for L2TP traffic, allowing for secure communication over the internet.
