Question 1.
Correct
Which of the following protocols allows hosts to exchange messages to indicate problems
with packet delivery?
DHCP
TFTP
ICMP
IGMP
Explanation
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) allows hosts to exchange messages to indicate a
packet's status as it travels through a network.
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) establishes multicast group memberships,
which allows a computer to send a single network packet to multiple hosts on a network at
the same time.
DHCP is used to automatically assign addresses and other configuration parameters to
network hosts.
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is often used when files need to be transferred between
systems quickly.

Question 2.
Correct
You have a large TCP/IP network and want to keep a host's real-time clock synchronized.
Which protocol should you use?
NTP
FTP
SNMP
SMTP
Explanation
Network Time Protocol (NTP) keeps computers' clocks synchronized.
SMTP is used to send mail between email servers.
SNMP lets network administrators set up alerts to monitor the state of a network.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) provides a generic method for transferring files.

Your company has just acquired another company in the same city. You need to integrate
the two email systems so that messages can be exchanged between email servers.
Currently, each network uses an email package from a different vendor.
Which TCP/IP protocol enables message exchange between systems?
SMTP
IMAP4
ICMP
POP3
Explanation
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) specifies how messages are exchanged between
email servers. Email clients use POP3 and IMAP4 to download email messages from email
servers.
ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is used with ping and traceroute to communicate
network information.

Which TCP/IP protocol provides this capability?
SIP
UDP
TCP
FTP
Explanation
In this scenario, you should write the application to use Transmission Control Protocol
(TCP). TCP guarantees delivery through error checking and acknowledgments.
FTP provides a generic method for transferring files. It can protect access to files by
requiring usernames and passwords.
UDP is a host-to-host protocol like TCP, but it doesn't acknowledge that each packet was
transmitted.
SIP is an open-source VoIP protocol.

Low overhead
Connectionless datagram services
Explanation
UDP is a connectionless protocol used by applications that need low overhead and don't
require guaranteed delivery.
TCP provides data packet sequencing, packet acknowledgement, and lost packet
retransmission.

Question 6.
Correct
You've recently installed a new Windows server. To ensure system time accuracy, you've
loaded an application that synchronizes the hardware clock on the server with an external
time source on the internet. Now you must configure your network firewall to allow time
synchronization traffic through.
Which of the following ports are you MOST LIKELY to open on the firewall?
110
123
80
119
Explanation
TCP/IP port 123 is assigned to Network Time Protocol (NTP). NTP is used to communicate
time synchronization information between systems on a network.

HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) uses TCP/IP port 80. HTTP is the protocol used to send
requests to a web server and retrieve web pages from the web server.
TCP/IP port 119 is used by the Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP). NNTP is used to
access and retrieve messages from newsgroups.
TCP/IP port 110 is used by Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3). POP3 is used to download
email from mail servers.
