Network Protocols - ARP, FTP, SMTP, HTTP, SSL, TLS, HTTPS, DNS, DHCP - Networking Fundamentals - L6

Practical Networking11 minutes read

Module one covers how data moves through a network and the importance of networking protocols like ARP, FTP, and DNS in facilitating communication and data exchange on the internet. Key configurations for internet connectivity include IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server IP, with DHCP playing a crucial role in automating the provision of these configurations.

Insights
