File/Print Sharing Service

On a Windows® network, the ____ is provided by the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol.

139 and 445

On legacy networks, SMB ran as part of the NetBIOS API on TCP port what? If no legacy client support is required, however, SMB is more typically run directly over TCP port ?

Apache

Open source software and powerful, robust features combine to make this server the most popular. It is available for UNIX, Linux, Mac OS X®, and Windows, but it is most widely deployed on Linux. Apache accounts for about 50% of the most active websites.

Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) / 143

POP has some significant limitations, some of which are addressed by what?. Clients connect to an ________ server over TCP port ?

dial-up

POP is primarily designed for access; the client contacts the server to download its messages, and then disconnects.

traffic shapers

Protocols, appliances, and software that can apply these three functions can be described as what?

Quality of Service (QoS)

Provides information about the connection to a QoSsystem, which in turn ensures that voice or video communications are free from problems, such as dropped packets, delay, or jitter.

Application and Transport or Session or Presentation

SSL/TLS works as a layer between the _____________ layers of the TCP/IP stack, or, in OSI terms, at the layer _________________.

explicit TLS or opportunistic TLS.

STARTTLS is also reffered to as what?

Mail Exchanger (MX)

The SMTP server for the domain is registered in DNS using what record?

non-delivery report (NDR)

The SMTP server retries at regular intervals before timing out and returning what to the sender?

Post Office Protocol (POP)

The _______________ is an early example of a mailbox protocol. It can be secured by using SSL/TLS. The default TCP port for secure POP (POP3S) is port 995.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) (80) (Not secured)

The foundation of web technology is the ___________. __________ enables clients (typically web browsers) to request resources from a _______________ server.

There will be an upfront cost to upgrade equipment, but server consolidation will reduce equipment cost and energy consumption for the long term. Technicians will require training in order to manage the new network configuration, but it will be easier for the technicians to manage and update due to Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).

The owner of the company requests a briefing on the pros and cons of modifying the current network to include virtualization. Weigh the benefits and drawbacks and report the results. (Select two)

Used to host Java-based applications.

What classifies each packet passing through a device?

VoIP gateway//////// analog version of the gateway is (FXO) gateway.

What is a means of translating between a VoIP system and voice-based equipment and networks, such as public switched telephone network (PSTN) lines?

Jitter

What is defined as being a variation in the delay. Jitter manifests itself as an inconsistent rate of packet delivery.

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

What is one of the most widely used session control protocols. SIP endpoints are the end-user devices (also known as user agents), such as IP-enabled handsets or client and server web conference software.

When the ISP allocates your own private server computer. This type of service is usually unmanaged (or management comes at additional cost).

Shared hosting

When your website is hosted within a private directory on a shared server. Performance can be severely affected by other sites hosted on the server, because all the sites are competing for the same resources.

Cloud hosting

Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

submits a request for a resource, using a what? The server acknowledges the request and responds with the data (or an error message).
