Extensive testing on port numbers?

Hey everyone,

Does the Security+ exam extensively cover ports? Like, would they ask "Which port does SNMP typically use?" or something of that nature?

I got 2-3 I believe. You only have to know about 10 port numbers for the exam so spend a few minutes to learn them.

It's not covered extensively, but yes, it is covered. Focus on the ones related to what's covered in the objectives, Kerberos, TACACS, PPTP, L2TP, etc, etc. It's fairly straightforward to memorize the handful you need for the CompTIA exams. Good luck.

Thanks.

I know most of the port numbers, but some of them are a bit obscure.

Yeah, I had a couple port questions.. even wanted to know their SSL/TLS port. I kinda like knowing random ports. Makes me feel smart to not have to look them up every time I'm writing scripts.
