Supporting Network ServiceSummarize Services Provided by Networked Hosts Flashcards
Lesson 6A
is a computer or system that provides data, resources, programs, or services to other computers, called clients, over a network.
server
a collection of files that are accessible to multiple users over a network.
fileshare
is a versatile, multifunction computer; clients and servers are just programs that run on a host.
Host
is a specific device that requests services or data from another device (called a server) on the network
Clients
a computer that stores and manages files for a network of computers.
file server
is a **network protocol **that allows computers on a network to share files, printers, and other resources with each other, essentially enabling users to access data on a remote server as if it were on their local machine; it’s primarily used in Windows operating systems but can also be accessed on other platforms like macOS and Linux. Verison 1 is unsafe.

Server Message Block (SMB)
allowed computers to address one another by name and establish sessions for other protocols, such
as SMB.

Network Basic
Input/Output System (NetBIOS)
allows a client to upload and download files from
a network server. It is often used to upload files to websites. But it is unsecure.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Secure way of transferring files.
FTP-Secure (FTPS)
FTP over Secure Shell (SFTP)
is one that provides client access using HTTP or its secure version (HTTPS).
web server
enables clients (typically web browsers) to request resources from an … server. A client connects to the server using port TCP/80 (by default) and submits a request for a resource (GET). The server either returns the data requested data if it is available or responds with an error code.
HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
is the coding language used to structure the content of a webpage, defining elements like headings, paragraphs, images, and links, essentially dictating how a web page is displayed in a browser; it’s considered the fundamental building block of the World Wide Web.
HyperText Markup Language (HTML)
a clickable link that connects one web resource to another.
Hyperlink
is the address of a specific location on the web
uniform resource locator (URL).
Typically, an organization will lease a web server or space on a server from an ISP. Larger organizations with Internet-connected datacenters may host websites themselves.
Web Server Deployment
is a security protocol that encrypts data sent between a user’s browser and a website, using SSL through TLS in port TCP/443.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS)
is a protocol that encrypts data sent between a browser and a website to protect sensitive information.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
a cryptographic protocol that secures data transmission over a network by encrypting information, authenticating parties involved, and ensuring data integrity,
Transport Layer Security (TLS)
is an electronic document that verifies the identity of a user, device, or server through process:
* Public key infrastructure (PKI)
* Certificate Authorities (CAs)
* Public key
* Private key
* Certification path validation
Digital Certificate
is a software program that manages the sending, receiving, and storage of emails.
Mail Server
specifies how email is delivered
from one mail domain to another.
* Port TCP/25
* Port TCP/587
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
When an email is received by an SMTP server, it delivers the message to a
Mailbox Servers
is an early example of a mailbox access protocol.
Post Office Protocol (POP)
aka (POP3)
is a standard protocol that allows email clients to retrieve emails from a mail server. port TCP/143, or TCP/993. It is more advanced than POP
Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP)
is a user authentication system that allows users to log in to multiple applications with one set of credentials.
single sign-on (SSO)
is a network protocol that allows users to access and manage directories of information. uses TCP and UDP port 389 by default
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
is a network server that controls user access to computer resources. Components:
* Supplicant
* Network access server (NAS) or network access point (NAP)
* AAA server
Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server
allows a host to accept connections to its command shell or graphical desktop from across the network.
remote terminal server
is any kind of software that replicates this TTY input/output function.
terminal emulator
is the principal means of obtaining secure remote access to UNIX and Linux servers and to most types of network appliances (switches, routers, and firewalls). on port TCP/22
Secure Shell (SSH)
is both a protocol and a terminal emulation software tool that transmits shell commands and output between a client and the remote host. on port TCP/23 by default**
Telnet
is Microsoft’s protocol for operating remote GUI
connections to a Windows machine. RDP uses port TCP/3389. you can connect to a Windows desktop remotely using a non-Windows device.
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)
is a standard network protocol used to monitor and manage network devices like routers, switches, and servers by collecting information about their status and performance, allowing network administrators to remotely manage and troubleshoot issues across their network infrastructure; over port UDP/161; traps are communicated over port UDP/162.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
is an example of a protocol and supporting software that facilitates log collection, listening on port UDP/514.
