TestOut Network Pro 11.8 Remote Management

Which port does Remote Desktop use?

Port 3389 - By default, Remote Desktop requires port 3389. Secure Shell (SSH) uses port 22. Telnet uses port 23. MMC snap-ins require an exception for Remote Administration, which opens ports 135 and 445.

Which of the following is a protocol used for terminal emulation?

SSH - Most administrators use Secure Shell (SSH) for terminal emulation. VNC, ICA, and RDP are remote access protocols.

You are the desktop administrator for your company. You would like to manage the computers remotely using a tool with a graphical user interface (GUI). Which actions should you take to accomplish this? (Select two. Each answer is a possible solution.)

Establish a Remote Desktop connection to each computer. Open Computer Management and connect to each remote computer. - To remotely manage computers using a graphical user interface, you can use Remote Desktop or a preconfigured console, such as Computer Management. When you use Computer Management, connect to the remote computer and then utilize a snap-in to view and manage its components. Use Remote Shell and Telnet to execute commands on a remote computer. You initiate a Remote Assistance session by sending an assistance invitation.

You just deployed a new Cisco router that connects several network segments in your organization. The router is physically located in a server room that requires an ID card for access. You backed up the router configuration to a remote location with an encrypted file. You access the router configuration interface from your notebook computer using a Telnet client with the username admin and the password admin. You used the MD5 hashing algorithm to protect the password. What else should you do to increase the security of this device? (Select two.)

Change the default administrative username and password. Use an SSH client to access the router configuration. - In this scenario, you need to address the following two key security issues: You should use an SSH (Secure Shell) client to access the router configuration. Telnet transfers data over the network connection in cleartext, exposing sensitive data to sniffing. You should change the default administrative username and password. Default usernames and passwords are readily available from websites on the internet. Encrypted Type 7 passwords on a Cisco device are less secure than those protected with MD5. Using HTTP and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) to manage the router configuration could expose sensitive information to sniffers, as they transmit data in cleartext.

You manage a server at work that has just been configured with a new application. Consequently, the server has crashed several times during the last week. You think that you've resolved the problem, but you'd like to be able to manage the server remotely just in case more issues occur. Which of the following protocols should you use for remote management? (Select two.)

ICA VNC - Use a remote access protocol to remotely manage devices. A remote access protocol allows you to interact with a computer's desktop without being present at the console. There are multiple protocols you can use for remote desktop connections. Virtual Network Computing (VNC) was originally designed for UNIX. Applications that use VNC include RealVNC, TightVNC, UltraVNC, and Vine Server. Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) is the protocol used by Citrix products (WinFrame and MetaFrame/XenApp). Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is the protocol developed by Microsoft and used in Microsoft's Terminal, Remote Desktop, and Remote Assistance solutions. Aqua Connect has now licensed RDP and created a version for Mac OS X. PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is a protocol that's used to control remote access. PPP allows the authentication, authorization, and accounting of remote access connections. PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) and L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) are VPN protocols that provide a secure connection to a destination host or network through the internet.

Which of the following is a role service that allows users with the Remote Desktop Connection client and an internet connection to connect on an internal network.

RD Gateway - Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) is a role service that allows users with the Remote Desktop Connection client and an internet connection to connect on an internal network. A Remote Desktop Resource Authorization Policy (RD RAP) identifies the internal resources that users can access. A Remote Desktop Connection Authorization Policy (RD CAP) identifies the users who can establish a connection through the RD Gateway server. Remote Desktop is a software tool.

Which of the following protocols or services would you associate with Windows Remote Desktop network traffic?

RDP - Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is used by Windows Remote Desktop applications, including Remote Desktop Connection. A Remote Desktop Resource Authorization Policy (RD RAP) identifies the internal resources that users can access. Network News Transport Protocol (NNTP) is used to access newsgroups and download messages. It is not associated with Windows Terminal. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a security mechanism designed to provide protection on wireless networks. It is not associated with Windows Terminal.

You are in the middle of a big project at work. All of your work files are on a server at the office. You want to be able to access the server desktop, open and edit files, save the files on the server, and print files to a printer that's connected to a computer at home. Which protocol should you use?

RDP - To access the server's desktop, use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). RDP is Microsoft's own remote access protocol, but other available protocols include VNC and ICA. With this remote desktop solution, you can access a device's desktop and work with applications and files on that device. Device redirection allows you to redirect sound, drives, or printing at the remote computer to your local computer. Telnet and SSH are command line utilities used for remote management. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for file transfer. While you might use this protocol to transfer files, it does not give you access to a remote system's desktop.

Which of the following is a tool that allows access to the graphical desktop environment of another Windows client system over a network connection?

Remote Desktop - Remote Desktop is a software tool that allows access to the graphical desktop environment of another Windows client system over a network connection. While SSH and VPNs help to provide remote access, they are not specific to Windows client systems. The Remote Desktop Gateway is not the software tool used to directly provide the graphical desktop environment to the user.

Which of the following remote protocols was originally designed for UNIX?

VNC - Virtual Network Computing (VNC) was originally designed for UNIX. ICA, ICA, and RDP are remote desktop protocols. However, they were not originally designed for UNIX. You can use a virtual private network (VPN) for remote access, but it is not a protocol that was originally designed for UNIX.
