ITCC 1375
This is just a tool for your own use and does not represent what materials will or will not be on any exam.

layer.

model.

networking model?

networks/applications.
10.1.2.5 Complete the lab.
10.2.1.1 What are the three parts of a
URL?
Outline the HTTP process steps
1 to 3.
10.2.1.2 Describe the three common
HTTP/HTTPS message types:
1- GET
2- POST
3- PUT
How does HTTPS differ from
The interface between the applications used to communicate
and the underlying network were messages are transmitted.
-Formatting, or presenting, data at the source device in a
compatible form.
-Compressing data that can be decompressed by the Dest.
-Encrypting data for transmission and decrypting upon
receipt.
Create and maintain dialogs between source and destination
applications.
DNS, BOOTP, DHCP, SMTP, POP, IMAP, FTP, TFTP,
HTTP, HTTPS.
The client is the device requesting information and the
server is the device that hold and sends the information.
Two or more clients are connected via a network and share
resources, where the clients can either act as a server or a
client at the same time.
Every client is a server and every server a client. P2P
applications require that each end device provide a user
interface and run a background service.
-eDonkey -Bitcoin
-G2
-Bit Torrent
-http (protocol scheme)
-www.cisco.com (the server name)
-index.html (The specific filename requested)
1 The browser checks with a name server to convert the url
and sends a GET request to the server.
2 The server sends the HTML code to the browser
3 The browser deciphers the HTML code and formats the
page.
1 When a client requests data, it sends a GET message to the
web server to request HTML pages.
2 Uploads data files to the web server such as form data.
3 Uploads resources or content to the web server such as an
image.
HTTPS is the encrypted version of HTTP using Secure

What is an FQDN?
10.2.1.3 What are the steps for sending
email from sender to receiver?
10.2.1.4 How does SMTP forward
email?
What happens if the destination
server is unavailable?
10.2.1.5 Outline the default operation of
POP.
List a pro and a con of POP.
10.2.1.6 What are some ways that IMAP
differs from POP?
10.2.1.7 Complete the Packet Tracer lab.
10.2.2.1 What is the purpose of DNS?
Outline the DNS process.
10.2.2.2 Describe the following DNS
record types:
1- A
2- NS
3- AAAA
4- MX
What does a DNS server do if it
does not have the necessary
record available?
What Windows command will
display known DNS records?
10.2.2.3 Describe the DNS hierarchy.
10.2.2.4 How is the nslookup used?
Complete the Syntax Checker
activity (Figure 2).
Socket Layer. HTTP sends data as plain text and can be
intercepted.
A fully qualified domain, that specifies the exact location of
a domain in the 3 hierarchy of the DNS.
The email clients communicate with mail servers to either
send or receive email. Mail servers communicate with other
mail servers to transport messages from one domain to
another,
When the server receives the message, it either places the
message in a local account, or forwards the message to
another mail server for delivery.
The message is returned to the sender as undeliverable.
POP is used to retrieve mail for a mail server. The mail
downloaded from the server to the client and then deleted on
the server.
-emails are not stored on a remote network
-it doesn’t have a centralized backup solution.
IMAP sends a copy to the client and the original mail is kept
in the server until manually removed.
To match/translate domains names into IP addresses.
The DNS server matches the domain name typed in the
browser with the IP address and it’s send back to the
browser.
1 An end device IPv4 address
2 An authoritative name server
3 An end device IPv6 address (Pronounced quad-A)
4 A mail exchange record
It contacts another servers to resolve the name. After a
match is found and returned to the original requesting server,
the server temporarily stores the numbered address in the
event that the same name is requested again,
Ipconfig /displaydns
Different DNS servers are divided in manageable zones, and
each DNS server maintains a specific database file.
It is used in the command prompt in either Windows or
Linux.

10.2.2.5 What is DHCP?
What is often used in
conjunction with DHCP and
why?
What does DHCPv6 not
provide? How is that missing
information acquired?
10.2.2.6 Describe the DHCP messaging
process.
How does DHCPv6 differ?
10.2.2.7 Complete the Packet Tracer lab.
10.2.2.8 Complete the lab.
10.2.3.1 Describe the connections used
for FTP. Include port numbers.
10.2.3.2 What is SMB?
What can SMB messages do?
10.2.3.3 Complete the Packet Tracer lab.
10.2.3.4 Complete the lab.
10.3.1.2 Complete the Packet Tracer lab.
A Dynamic configuration for addressing information
obtained from a server to address devices automatically.
Static addressing is used for devices that need addressing
that doesn’t change such as switches, routers, printers, and
servers.
DHCPv6 doesn’t provide default gateway information,
instead, default gateway information is dynamically
obtained from the router’s advertisement message.
When a device boots up or connects to the network, a DHCP
discover message is broadcasted to identify DHCP servers.
A DHCP server replies with a DHCP offer message, to offer
a lease to the client with the proper addressing.
DCHPv6 messages are instead SOLICIT, ADVERTISE,
INFORMATION, REQUEST, and REPLY.
-The first connection is established by the client to the server
for traffic control using TCP on port 21
-The client establishes the second connection to the server as
well, this time for the actual data transfer using TCP on port
20.
A client/server file sharing protocol that describes the
structure of shared networks resources.
