Computer Networks

IGMP stands for Internet Group Management Protocol, used by IPv4 hosts and routers to manage multicast group memberships. It's not for gateway or intranet management - it specifically handles which hosts belong to which multicast groups.

TELNET provides bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication through a virtual terminal connection, allowing users to log into remote systems. SNMP is for network device management, POP3 is for retrieving email, and TELNET is the correct answer for terminal emulation.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP addresses and network configuration to clients. FTP is for file transfers, RPC enables remote procedure calls, and DNS resolves domain names to IP addresses.

ICMP is not a routing protocol - it's used for error reporting and network diagnostics (like ping). OSPF, RIP, and EIGRP are all routing protocols that determine optimal paths for data packets through networks.

EIGRP stands for Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol, a Cisco-proprietary advanced distance-vector routing protocol. It's an enhancement of IGRP (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol), not "Emerging" or "Emergent".

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a server and a client. The link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browser remains private and integral.

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files between a client and server on a computer network. 'Fake' and 'Truncate' are incorrect terms in this context.

A protocol is a standardized set of rules and conventions that govern communication between devices on a network. In the context of the internet, protocols like HTTP, FTP, and TCP/IP define how computers exchange data reliably. Option A refers to transfer time, which is a performance metric, not a communication standard. Option C refers to email attachment size, which is unrelated to protocols.

BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy. When you put an address in the BCC field, that recipient receives the email, but their address is not visible to the primary recipient (To) or the CC recipients.

Comodo Firewall is a well-known free firewall software for Windows. Zone Alarm Pro is a paid commercial product (though a free version exists), while Hit-Fire and Threat fire are not recognized firewall products.

SMTP correctly stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. It is the standard protocol for email transmission across the internet, working on port 25 by default. The protocol handles sending emails from a mail client to a mail server or between mail servers.

The ISO OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model is specifically designed for network environments to standardize communication between different systems and protocols. It's not relevant for standalone PCs that don't participate in network communication. The model provides a framework for network protocol development and implementation.

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, a standard network protocol used for transferring files between a client and server on a network. File Transport Protocol, Form Transfre Protocol, and File Transfer Program are incorrect.
