Questions and Answers
The Telnet protocol encrypts transmitted data, which therefore cannot be read by others on the network.
False
When using static IP addressing, software automatically configures the network connection on each device.
False

Study Notes
Networking Protocols and IP Addressing
- Telnet Protocol: Does not encrypt data, making it vulnerable to interception.
- Static IP Addressing: Requires manual configuration; does not automatically set up network connections.
- Virtual Networks: Capable of encrypting data; the assertion about their insecurity is false.
- User Datagram Protocol (UDP): Does not guarantee data delivery; utilizes a connectionless format.
- Server Message Block (SMB): Current version is CIFS, also referred to as SMB2, for file and printer sharing.
IP Address Essentials
- IP Address: A unique 32-bit or 128-bit identifier for devices on a network.
- Public IP Addresses: Accessible via the Internet and used for identification.
- Dynamic IP Address: Assigned by a server upon a device's initial network connection.
- Subnet Mask: Divides an IP address into network and host portions, essential for routing.
Command Line Tools
- ipconfig: Command to display all assigned IP addresses on a device.
- ipconfig /flushdns: Command to clear the DNS cache on Windows systems.
Addressing and Connectivity
- Unicast Addressing: Delivers packets to a single target node.
- Transmission Control Protocol (TCP): Establishes a connection, ensuring data delivery; resends lost packets.
- Virtual Private Network (VPN): Secures private data over public networks, protecting information flow.
Wireless and Network Infrastructure
- SSID: Designates the name of a wireless network.
- Firewall: Protects networks by blocking unwanted external traffic and managing internal access.
- 5 GHz Frequency: Offers higher speeds but shorter range in wireless networks.
Protocols and Ports
- SSH (Secure Shell): Operates on port 22 for secure remote access to servers.
- Remote Desktop Services: Use port 3389 for remote connections.
Mobile and Network Devices
- CDMA: The most prevalent mobile technology in the United States.
- Default Gateway: Serves as the access point for client computers connecting to external networks.
Special Addressing Scenarios
- APIPA: Automatic Private IP Addressing for devices unable to acquire an IP from a DHCP server.
- Full Duplex: Enables simultaneous sending and receiving on Ethernet networks.
Address Types and Router Functions
- Unicast Addresses: Include global and link-local types.
- SOHO Routers: Often equipped with firewalls and wireless access points beyond standard routing functionality.
Mail Protocols
- Mail Transfer Protocols: Include POP3 and IMAP4 for sending and receiving emails.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Characteristics
- Connectionless Protocol: UDP operates without a dedicated connection; promotes high-speed data transmission.
- Best Effort Protocol: Provides no delivery guarantees, contrasting with TCP's reliable service.
Remote Access Methods
- Telnet and SSH: Utilized for remote server access; Telnet is unencrypted, while SSH provides encryption for secure communications.
