Yes, websites using HTTPS encryption are generally safe for submitting confidential information.

A protocol responsible for delivering error messages about network failures and communication issues.

A unicast IPv6 address identifies a single node or device on a network.

WANs cover large geographic areas, spanning cities, countries, or continents.

SSH uses port 22 for secure remote access.

10.1.1.1 is a non-routable IP address used in private networks.

Port 21 is used to access FTP servers, which are used for transferring files.

LDAP uses port 389 for accessing directory services, managing user accounts and network resources.

A subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 is used for Class B networks, which have a range of addresses from 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255.

A punchdown tool is used to connect network cables to a 110 block, which is a common connection point for network wiring.

Fiber-optic connections offer the fastest download speeds due to their ability to transmit data at the speed of light.

69.252.80.71 and 144.160.155.40 are public IPv4 addresses, routable on the internet, assigned to devices on external networks.

SMB uses port 445 for sharing files and printers on a network.

The IPv6 equivalent of 127.0.0.1 in IPv4 is ::1, representing the loopback address on a computer.

Routers are used to extend a network by connecting multiple network segments together, allowing devices on different networks to communicate with each other.

TFTP is used for transferring small files locally on a network, offering a simple connectionless approach without complex security.

A cable tester is used to identify unlabeled cables within a patch panel by analyzing signal patterns, making troubleshooting easier.

IPv6 interfaces do not use broadcasts because each node has a unique address, making broadcasts unnecessary.

45.67.89.10 is a public IP address and is routable on the internet.

When you access a secure website (HTTPS), data is transmitted over port 443, providing encryption for secure communication.

The shorthand notation for subnet mask 255.255.224.0 is /19, which indicates the number of bits used for the network portion of an IP address.

802.11n technology allows for backward compatibility with older 802.11b and 802.11g devices while providing faster speeds and increased range.

MANs cover a specific geographical area, connecting multiple buildings or offices within a city or town.

To connect to a network running IPv4, a computer needs an IP address, a subnet mask, and a default gateway.

A duplicate IP address error message usually happens when another device on the network is mistakenly configured with the same IP address as another device.

A print server should have a static IP address to ensure consistent access to the printer for all users.

WEP is an outdated Wi-Fi encryption standard using a static key, lacking in security compared to newer standards like WPA2 and WPA3.

SNMP managers typically poll agents on port 161, gathering information about network devices for monitoring.

To enable internet access via URLs after specific ports are shut down on the external firewall, the IT team needs to open ports for HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443) again.

RFID involves low-power passive tags or patches attached to objects, allowing for wireless reading and identification.

SMB uses ports 137 and 139, protocols responsible for networking and file sharing services.

End-user devices in a SOHO network can obtain IP addresses through static configuration, DHCP, or service location protocols.

MAC address filtering restricts network access to only specific devices by blocking any devices whose MAC addresses are not in the allowed list.

A web server provides internet access to company-provided information and services, hosting websites and providing web content.

IoT devices allow for remote control and automation of everyday objects using a network connection.

NFC is a short-range wireless communication technology used for mobile payments and data transfer between devices, like phones and payment terminals.

A file server functions as a central repository for shared files, offering network storage and access for internal users within an organization.

Homeowner's IoT devices connect to their wireless network using DHCP, which automatically assigns IP addresses to devices on the network.

A school district typically sets up a proxy server to filter and monitor internet access for students, ensuring safety and appropriate content consumption.

When configuring a phone for email, you are configuring it to work with a mail server, which handles sending and receiving emails.
