Which protocol ports are on the A+ exam?

So I will probably be taking the exam soon and have been studying from the Cisco Academy curriculum. So far, the material has covered the port numbers for SMTP, IMAP and POP3. They briefly discuss the other ports (TCP/IP, HTTP, SSH, TelNet, and a few others) but I don't believe they provide the port numbers. So do I only need to know the numbers for the ones they told me, or should I be looking up the others as well?

I would AT LEAST know the following

FTP 21
SSH 22
TELNET 23
SMTP 25
HTTP 80
HTTPS 443
POP3 110

With port numbers, the more you know, the better off you are anyway. It will help if you try for more advanced exams like Net+ or Security+ in the future.

I have yet to get any port questions on any practice exam I have taken.

Just learn the basic ports now. If they're not on the exam, you still know them.
Same goes for when you're studying for the Net+, go ahead and practice and learn subnetting and CIDR.
You WILL need these things later on if you're in IT.

If you would like to know a little bit more on those ports and there protocols there's also a chapter for that too.

Enjoy! Good luck everyone on your exam!
