Well known ports?

Is it necessary for the Sec+ exam to be able to distinguish between if the Port that a well known service or protocol uses is a UDP or TCP port? Or is it sufficient to just know the port? For example SNMP uses UDP 161 & 162. Would it be enough just to know the actual port only? Thanks.

The port numbers should be sufficient, but I would learn whether they use TCP or UDP whether it shows up on the exam or not. -

It can not be bad if you know both,I mean the port number and if it is UDP or TCP,because these things will always come in several exams(Network+,Sever+,MCSE,etc...) so it can not hurt if you know all.

And you only need to remember whether it's UDP or both UDP and TCP for a given port, the rest will be TCP only
