Q

LDAP/LDAPS

A

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) - tcp/389
• Store and retrieve information in a network directory
• LDAPS (LDAP Secure) - tcp/636
• A non-standard implementation of LDAP over SSL

17
Q

H.323

A

Voice over IP (VoIP) signaling - tcp/1720

• ITU Telecommunication H.32x protocol series

18
Q

Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model

A
  • It’s a guide (thus the term “model”)
  • Don’t get wrapped up in the details
  • This is not the OSI protocol suite
  • Most of the OSI protocols didn’t catch on
  • There are unique protocols at every layer
  • You’ll refer to this model for the rest of your career
19
Q

Layer 1 - The Physical Layer

A
The physics of the network
• Signaling, cabling, connectors
• This layer isn’t about protocols
• You have a physical layer problem.”
• Fix your cabling, punch-downs, etc.
• Run loopback tests, test/replace cables,
swap adapter cards
20
Q

Layer 2 - Data Link Layer

A
• The basic network “language”
• The foundation of communication
at the data link layer
• Data Link Control (DLC) protocols
• MAC (Media Access Control) address on Ethernet
• The “switching” layer
21
Q

Layer 3 - The Network Layer

A

• The “routing” layer
• Internet Protocol (IP)
• Fragments frames to traverse different networks
What is IP Fragmentation?
• Fragments are always in multiples of 8 because of the
number of fragmentation offset bits in the IP header

22
Q

Layer 4 - Transport Layer

A

• The “post office” layer
• Parcels and letters
• TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and
UDP (UserDatagram Protocol)

23
Q

Layer 5 - Session Layer

A

Communication management between devices
• Start, stop, restart
• Half-duplex, full-duplex
• Control protocols, tunneling protocols

24
Q

Layer 6 - Presentation Layer

A

Character encoding
• Application encryption
• Often combined with the Application Layer

25
Q

Layer 7 - Application Layer

A

• The layer we see - HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3
