    Study Notes

    Protocol at Transport Layer

    • UDP operates at the transport layer of the TCP model.

    Port Numbers and Services

    • Port 21: FTP
    • Port 25: SMTP
    • Port 53: DNS
    • Port 80: HTTP
    • Port 443: HTTPS

    Ping Utility

    • Two purposes of the ping utility:
      • Self-test a host's network interface
      • Determine if a host is reachable

    Multilayer Switch Feature

    • Translates between network protocols
    • Provides Layer 3 routing functions

    Netstat Command

    • Used to display ports a computer is listening on

    Type 2 Hypervisor and Virtual Machines

    • Rebooting one virtual machine does not automatically reboot the other virtual machines.
    • Rebooting the host machine does not affect other virtual machines.
    • Rebooting a virtual machine requires rebooting the physical server first.

    Wired Ethernet Network Topology

    • Uses network adapters with physical IP addresses
    • Typically employs twisted pair or fiber optic media

    IPv4 Address

    • Consist of a network ID and host ID

    Network Address Translation (NAT)

    • Used to enable internal clients with private IPv4 addresses from a router

    Troubleshooting Internet Access Issues

    • Perform a line test to check connectivity between the ISP and customer.
    • Ask the customer to restart the modem.
    • Ask the customer to check status lights on the modem.
