PROTOCOLS Flashcards
. With TCP, a data session is established through a three-step process.
This is known as a three-way _____.
- This is known as a three-way handshake.
- What FTP command uploads multiple files to the remote host?
- The mput command uploads multiple files to the remote host in FTP.
- The SSH protocol is a more secure alternative to what protocol?
- SSH is a more secure alternative to Telnet.
which is defined in RFC 791, is the protocol used to transport data from
one node on a network to another. IP is connectionless, which means that it
doesn’t guarantee the delivery of data; it simply makes its best effort to do so.
Internet Protocol (IP)
IP operates at the ____ layer of the OSI model.
network
_____is defined in RFC 793, is a connection-oriented protocol and the transport protocol. Being connection-oriented means that _____ establishes a mutually acknowledged session between two hosts before communication takes place. provides reliability to IP communications. Specifically, it adds features such as flow control, sequencing, and error detection and correction.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
TCP operates at the ____ layer of the OSI model.
transport
is defined in RFC 768, is the brother of TCP. Like TCP, ____ is the transport protocol, but the big difference is that ____ does not guarantee delivery like TCP does.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
provides for the uploading and downloading of files from a remote host running _____ server software. As well as uploading
and downloading files, it enables you to view the contents of folders on an ___ server and rename and delete files and directories if you have the necessary permissions
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
based on
Secure Shell (SSH) technology, provides robust authentication between
sender and receiver. It also provides encryption capabilities, which means that
even if packets are copied from the network, their contents remain hidden
from prying eyes.
Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)
which layer of the OSI model does TFTP operate?
application
which layer of the OSI model does UDP operate?
transport
which layer of the OSI model does TCP operate?
transport
is defined in RFC 821, is a protocol that defines how mail messages are sent between hosts. Uses TCP connections to guarantee
error-free delivery of messages.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
can be used to both send and receive mail
SMTP
defined in RFC 2068, is the protocol that enables text, graphics, multimedia, and other material to be downloaded from an HTTP
server. HTTP defines what actions can be requested by clients and how servers should answer those requests.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
defined in RFC 854, is a virtual terminal protocol. It enables
sessions to be opened on a remote host, and then commands can be executed
on that remote host.
Telnet
___ is used to access UNIX and Linux systems.
Telnet
a secure alternative to Telnet. It provides security by encrypting
data as it travels between systems. This makes it difficult for hackers using
packet sniffers and other traffic-detection systems. It also provides more
robust authentication systems than Telnet
Secure Shell (SSH)
a protocol that works with the IP layer
to provide error checking and reporting functionality. In effect, it is a
tool that IP uses in its quest to provide best-effort delivery.
Internet Control Message Protocol
is defined in RFC 826, is responsible for resolving IP addresses to Media Access Control (MAC) addresses. When a system attempts to contact another host, IP first determines whether the other host is on the same network it is on by looking at the IP address. If IP determines that the destina-
tion is on the local network, it consults the ____ cache to see whether it has a
corresponding entry. The ARP cache is a table on the local system that stores
mappings between data link layer addresses (the MAC address or physical address) and network layer addresses (IP addresses).
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
performs the same function as
ARP, but in reverse. In other words, it resolves MAC addresses to IP address-
es. ____ makes it possible for applications or systems to learn their own IP
address from a router or Domain Name Service (DNS) server. Such a resolu-
tion is useful for tasks such as performing reverse lookups in DNS. It is
defined in RFC 903.
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP)
defined in RFC 958, is the part of the TCP/IP protocol suite
that facilitates the communication of time between systems. The idea is that
one system configured as a time provider transmits time information to other
systems that can be both time receivers and time providers for other systems.
Network Time Protocol (NTP)
a protocol that provides a mech-
anism to access and query directory services systems. In the context of the
Network+ exam, these directory services systems are most likely to be Novell
Directory Services (NDS) and Microsoft’s Active Directory
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
LDAP
the protocol within the TCP/IP
protocol suite that manages multicast groups. It enables, for example, one
computer on the Internet to target content to a specific group of computers
that will receive content from the sending system. This is in contrast to uni-
cast messaging, in which data is sent to a single computer or network device
and not to a group, or a broadcast message goes to all systems.
Internet Group Management Protocol
IGMP
a security protocol designed to ensure privacy between communicating client/server applications. When a server and client communicate, it ensures that no one can eavesdrop and intercept or otherwise tamper with the data message. it is the successor
to SSL.
