Port Number

 

WHAT IS A PORT NUMBER

1. A PORT IS NOT PHYSICAL CONNECTION IT IS A LOGICAL CONNECTION THAT IS USED BY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES TO EXCHANGE INFORMATION.

2. IT IS SPECIFICALLY DETERMINE WHICH PROGRAMOR SERVICES  ON A COMPUTER AND SERVER THAT IS GOING TO BE USED.

FOR EXAMPLE :  WEBPAGE  ,  EMAIL ,  FTP

3. PORT IS A UNIQUE NUMBER THAT INDENTIFIES THEM.   0-65535 

 COMMON PORT NO 80,443 IS WEBPAGE(HTTP AND HTTPS AND FTP IS 21.

4.  A PORT IS ALWAYS ASSOCIATED WITH AN IP ADDRESS.

FOR EXAMPLE  IP ADDRESS IS 192.68.1.1 AND PORT NO IS 21

 SO COMBINE THE IP AND PORT IS   192.168.1.1:21

5. PORT NO 0-65535 RANG THE FOR ASSIGNED BY IANA (INTERNET ASSIGNED NUMBER ATHOUROTY)

PORT NO ARE BROKEN DOWN 3 CATEGORIES

1.  PORT NUMBER 0-1023 IS CALLED SYSTEM AND WELL-KNOWN PORTS.

EXAMPLE : 80 , 25 , 443 , 21.

2.  PORT NUMBER 1024-49151 ARE CALLED USER OR REGISTERED PORTS. 

THEY ARE PORT THATCAN BE REGISTERED BY COMPANIES OR DEVOLPER FOR A PARTICULAR SERVICE.

EXAMPLE :  1102 ADOBE SERVICE AND  1527 ORACLE AND 1433 MICROSOFT SQL SERVER.

3. PORT NUMBER 49152 ARE CALLED DYNAMIC AND PRIVATE PORTS.

THEY ARE CLIENT-SIDE PORT THAT ARE FREE TO USE. 

THESE ARE PORTS THAT YOU COMPUTER ASSIGNS TEMPORAILY TO ITSELF DURING  A SESSION.

BRIDGE MODE AND NAT MODE AP

  BOTH BRIDGE MODE AND NAT MODE ARE WAYS TO CONFIGURE AN ACCESS POINT (AP) TO EXTEND A NETWORK, BUT THEY DIFFER IN HOW THEY HANDLE IP ADDRESSES AND NETWORK TRAFFIC: BRIDGE MODE: CONCEPT: ACTS AS A TRANSPARENT BRIDGE, SIMPLY RELAYING DATA BETWEEN WIRED AND WIRELESS DEVICES. IP ADDRESS: DEVICES OBTAIN THEIR IP ADDRESSES FROM AN UPSTREAM DHCP SERVER, TYPICALLY THE MAIN ROUTER ON THE NETWORK. NETWORK TRAFFIC: ALL DEVICES, BOTH WIRED AND WIRELESS, ARE SEEN AS PART OF THE SAME NETWORK AND CAN DIRECTLY COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER. BENEFITS: SEAMLESS ROAMING: DEVICES CAN EFFORTLESSLY SWITCH BETWEEN APS WITHOUT LOSING THEIR IP ADDRESS OR CONNECTION. SIMPLIFIED NETWORK MANAGEMENT: ALL DEVICES ARE ON THE SAME SUBNET, MAKING CONFIGURATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING EASIER. INCREASED COMPATIBILITY: WORKS WITH DEVICES THAT DON'T SUPPORT NAT TRAVERSAL (E.G., SOME VPN CLIENTS). DRAWBACKS: LESS SECURITY : ALL DEVICES ARE DIRECTLY EXPOSED TO EACH OTHER, POTENTIALLY INCREAS

DOS AND DDOS ATTACK

A Dos (Denial-Of-Service) Attack and A DDOS (Distributed Denial-Of-Service) Attack Are Both Attempts to Make a Computer System or Network Resource Unavailable to Legitimate Users. However, They Differ in How They Achieve This: Dos Attack: Imagine A Single Person Throwing Rocks at A Castle Gate. A This Person Represents the Attacker, And the Rocks Represent the Malicious Traffic. The Castle Gate Represents the Target System or Network Resource. The Attacker Keeps Throwing Rocks, Trying to Overwhelm the Gate's Defenses and Gain Entry. Dos Attacks Are Typically Launched from A Single System. They Can Be Effective Against Small Systems or Networks, But Larger Systems Can Often Withstand Them. DDos Attack: Imagine An Army Throwing Rocks at A Castle Gate. This Army Represents the Attacker, And the Rocks Represent the Malicious Traffic. The Castle Gate Represents the Target System or Network Resource. The Attackers Coordinate Their Attack, Throwing Rocks from Multiple Directions at Once.

VSC (Virtual Cluster Switching)

  VIRTUAL CLUSTER SWITCHING (VCS): THIS IS A PROPRIETARY NETWORK FABRIC TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED BY BROCADE, LATER ACQUIRED BY EXTREME NETWORKS. IT ALLOWS MULTIPLE PHYSICAL SWITCHES TO BE COMBINED AND MANAGED AS A SINGLE LOGICAL UNIT, OFFERING SEVERAL BENEFITS: SIMPLIFIED MANAGEMENT: MANAGE THE ENTIRE VCS AS ONE ENTITY, REDUCING CONFIGURATION OVERHEAD AND TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLEXITY. INCREASED PORT DENSITY: COMBINE PORTS FROM MULTIPLE SWITCHES TO CREATE A LARGER POOL OF AVAILABLE CONNECTIONS. IMPROVED PERFORMANCE:   ENHANCE LINK UTILIZATION AND LOAD BALANCING ACROSS MULTIPLE PHYSICAL LINKS, REDUCING BOTTLENECKS. ENHANCED REDUNDANCY:   PROVIDES FAILOVER PROTECTION IN CASE OF A SWITCH FAILURE. TRAFFIC WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY REROUTED TO OTHER SWITCHES WITHIN THE VCS. SIMPLIFIED NETWORK TOPOLOGY: ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR COMPLEX LINK AGGREGATION OR SPANNING TREE PROTOCOL (STP) CONFIGURATIONS. _________ VCS, OR VIRTUAL CLUSTER SWITCHING, CAN OPERATE IN DIFFERENT MODES DEPENDI
