Common Network Ports - CompTIA A+ 220-1001 - 2.1

[@deerlow1851]

I was terrified by these ports and protocols. thought it would be my downfall. Then, I wrote down each protocol abbreviation with its port number down on paper around 10 times each, and then I made flashcards and quizzed myself with them for around 30 minutes. I now have memorized with 100% accuracy, all of the ports used in A+ and then some extra ones. I really shocked myself. Try this guys.

[@VictorTheGoalie]

Thank you! Great advice because they intimidate me at the moment

[@JudgeGideon823]

This is a great strategy used for learning verb conjugation in language learning and all sorts of things. Ports, transfer speeds or essentially anything with a number are perfect for this method. Best of luck to anyone currently studying for these exams or for improving yourselves in general.

[@TarantulaAntics]

You know what would be helpful? A list of acronyms specifically associated with all the relevant ones associated with Core 1 and Core 2 notes. Acronyms alone are a large component that takes time and experience to learn and would help. Communication is based on the quick recognizing and understanding of acronyms in IT. I would pay for that for sure. I already bought both core notes and am working my way through the videos. Thank you for all this. Leaving my dead-end career as an automotive technician is pretty nerve-racking but with this, I feel a bit more confident on my path to get certified for IT work.

[@professormesser]

There’s a nice list in the Core 1 and Core 2 exam objectives, and they are free!

Thank you so much for your videos Mr. Messer. They are very clear, precise and to the point.

Thanks for the videos. Is it necessary to memorize individual tcp/udp ports for the exam? As someone going to take the exam soon I'm trying to pool resources of info and study as much as possible but it seems to me memorizing these ports is probably not necessary for A+.

Can someone explain to me what is NetBIOS name services, NetBIOS datagram service, and NetBIOS session service? It wasn't really broken down and I am total beginner when it comes this. I appreciate any responses!

[@adeelmohammed6252]

• NetBIOS - Net Basic Input Output Service ○ This is used in Windows for it's file and printer sharing. § We used to do this to talk over a local area network. □ Now you can name your computers with a lot more characters, because they have DNS and can understand that. Port 137 [UDP] and Port 139 [TCP]. Hopefully this helps.

[@IgotokmyOwn]

Hi Professor, do I have to pass the A + Exam before I can take the Security + Exam? Also, is knowing the tcp port numbers in the video needed for the A + Exam? Thanks

[@esimiokorogheye]

From what I have read online it is a MUST you know the port numbers. In regards to the order you obtain the qualifications in that is up to you. But many would advise you get compTIA A+ first as you build a solid foundation revising the content in it and some of the foundational knowledge may pop up again in Security+

[@TheMobsterFish]

Probably too late but you can take them in any order you'd like but A+ flows into Net+ which then flows into Sec+. So it's up to you but Sec+ is the most sought after to my knowledge.

[@8bitcrypto887]

Thanks so much for the videos mate. Anyone got a good way to try and remember all the different kinds of ports numbers? Does your everyday network engineer remember all this like the back of their hand plus everything else they need to know or does google play a bigger part haha

[@professormesser]

Like most things, remembering port numbers becomes easier after a bit of use. I would recommend configuring firewall rules using port numbers or capturing some packets to investigate which port numbers are in use.

@@alexsorrells9603 It's not a dumb question at all. It makes no sense to know all the ports by heart, since you will most likely won't be using all of them and even at work you can still refer to notes or the internet.

@@The_Waraba To be fair, I've worked in a few tech gigs, and I'm working in this cert now. I asked on of my higher-ups about it and he said he's never met anyone who knew more than 1 or two offhand and to quote, "that's what google is for." So it definitely depends on the IT environment but for the test atleast you should absolutely know lol.
