When determining whether a local network has any NetBIOS traffic, do you use the nslookup utility in interactive mode or a packet analyzer such as Wireshark?
Port 80 NSlookup
When running a scan on your computer, you find that a session has been established with a host at the address 208.85.40.44:80. Which protocol is in use for this session? What command-line utility might you use to find out who the host is?

ipconfig /flushdns NSlookup
While troubleshooting a network connection problem for a coworker, you discover the computer is querying a nonexistent DNS server. What command-line utility can you use to assign the correct DNS server IP address?
EUI-64
The second 64 of an autoconfigured IPV6 address may either be random or generated from the computer MAC address, which contains 48 bits. What standard defines the conversion of the MAC address to the IPv6 64-bit device id?
255
What decimal number corresponds to the binary number 11111111?
Port 21
FTP sometimes uses a random port for data transfer, but an FTP server always, unless programmed otherwise, listens to the same port for session requests from clients. What port is the FTP server listening on?
All devices on your local network
Suppose you send data to 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 IP address on an IVP4 network. To which device are you transmitting?

The lease duration for the clients computer
You are the network manager for a computer training center that allows clients to bring their own laptops to class for learning and taking notes. Clients need access to the Internet, so you have configured your network's DHCP server to issue IP addresses automatically. What DHCP option should you modify to make sure you are not wast- ing addresses that were used by clients who have left for the day?
