Explanation

Port 49 is commonly used for TACACS, which is a security protocol for providing centralized validation of users attempting to gain access to a network. The incorrect options are other commonly known protocols that are associated with different ports.

Submit
6. What is the IP protocol number 51 used for?

Explanation

The IP protocol number 51 refers to the Authenticating Header (AH), which is used with IPSec to provide authentication and integrity for IP packets. This protocol is not related to TCP, ICMP, or UDP.

Submit
7. Which protocol operates on port 53 for Domain Name Server (DNS)?

Explanation

DNS operates on both TCP and UDP protocols for its communication. While HTTP, FTP, and SMTP are important protocols, they do not typically operate on port 53 for DNS resolution.

Submit
8. What are the standard ports for DHCP protocol?

Explanation

67 UDP and 68 UDP are the standard ports used by the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for communication between the client and server. The other port combinations provided are used for different protocols and services, such as HTTP and HTTPS, SSH and Telnet, and SNMP for network management, respectively.

Submit
9. Which protocol is associated with port number 69?

Explanation

Port number 69 is traditionally assigned to Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), a simple file transfer protocol with no authentication mechanisms. The other options listed do not correspond to port number 69.

Submit
10. What protocol is responsible for handling the transfer of Hypertext over the Internet?

Explanation

HTTP is the protocol used for transmitting hypertext documents over the Internet. It is the foundation of data communication on the World Wide Web. TCP is a different protocol responsible for establishing a connection between devices. FTP is used for transferring files over a network, and SMTP is used for sending email messages.

Submit
11. What protocol is associated with port 88 TCP?

Explanation

Port 88 TCP is commonly used for Kerberos, which is a network authentication protocol that uses secret-key cryptography.

Submit
12. What is the protocol used in port 110?

Explanation

Port 110 is typically used for POP3, which is responsible for allowing a mail client to download email messages from a mail server. SMTP is used for sending emails, HTTP for web browsing, and FTP for file transfers.

Submit
13. What protocol does port 119 TCP typically correspond to?

Explanation

Port 119 TCP is commonly associated with NNTP, which is used for disseminating news articles in a decentralized manner. SMTP, FTP, and HTTP are associated with different ports and not typically used for NNTP.

Submit
14. What protocol is associated with port 123 UDP?

Explanation

Port 123 UDP is typically used for Network Time Protocol (NTP) services, allowing network devices to synchronize their time settings with a designated time source.

Submit
15. Which protocol suite includes 135 TCP / 137 TCP and UDP / 138 TCP and UDP/ 139 TCP?

Explanation

NetBIOS (Network Basic Input/Output System) is a protocol suite that provides services for the naming, resolution, and session establishment between nodes on a network. Ports 135 TCP, 137 TCP and UDP, 138 TCP and UDP, and 139 TCP are commonly associated with NetBIOS.

Submit
16. Which protocol uses port 143 for communication?

Explanation

Port 143 is commonly used for the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP4), which is used to retrieve email messages from a mail server. Other protocols like SMTP, SSH, and FTP use different ports for their communication purposes.

Submit
17. Which protocol uses port 161 TCP and UDP / 162 TCP and UDP?

Explanation

Port 161 TCP and UDP / 162 TCP and UDP are commonly associated with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is used for managing and monitoring network devices.

Submit
18. What protocol uses port number 389 for both TCP and UDP?

Explanation

Port number 389 is commonly associated with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for directory services.

Submit
19. Which protocol uses port 443 for communication?

Explanation

Port 443 is commonly used for HTTP with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption, providing secure communication over the internet.

Submit
20. What protocol uses 500 UDP?

Explanation

500 UDP is commonly associated with Internet Key Exchange (IKE) which is used in conjunction with IPSec for secure communication. FTP uses TCP port 21, SMTP uses TCP port 25, and HTTP uses TCP port 80.

Submit
21. What protocol uses port 636 for communication over TCP and UDP?

Explanation

Port 636 is commonly used for LDAPS, which is an LDAP protocol providing communications security. SSL, VPN, and SMTP do not typically use this port for communication.

Submit
22. What protocol is typically associated with port 1701 UDP?

Explanation

Port 1701 UDP is commonly used for Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) which is used for creating VPN tunnels. The incorrect answers such as SSH, HTTP, and SMTP are associated with different protocols and services that do not typically use port 1701 UDP.

Submit
23. What protocol uses port 1723 for both TCP and UDP communication?

Explanation

Port 1723 is commonly used by the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) for VPN connections. HTTP uses port 80, SMTP uses port 25, and FTP uses port 21.

Submit
24. What protocol is commonly associated with ports 1812 TCP and UDP / 1813 TCP and UDP?

Explanation

The correct answer is Remote Authentication Dial in User Service (RADIUS) because these ports are commonly used for RADIUS communication. RADIUS is a networking protocol that provides centralized authentication, authorization, and accounting management for users who connect and use a network service.

Submit
25. What service is typically associated with port 3389 TCP?

Explanation

Port 3389 TCP is commonly used for Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) which allows a user to connect to and control a remote computer. FTP uses port 21, SSH uses port 22, and HTTP uses port 80.
