  • Earns a Badge
Understanding common networking protocols, ports, services, and traffic types is crucial for managing and securing networks. In this course, learn about the most commonly known protocols that are used today on computer networks, such as FTP, SMTP, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, and more. Next, examine how HTTP enables computers to send and receive web-based communication messages and investigate other common key protocols and their ports. Finally, explore the Structured Query Language (SQL) programming language, common IP protocol types, and various traffic types. This course is one of a collection that helps prepare learners for the CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) certification exam.
