QUESTION 1
1.1. The Physical layer, is the simplest layer of all and is responsible only for sending bits via a wired or
wireless
transmission.
1.2. The Network layer moves messages from one node to another until they reach the destination host.

Question 2
2.1. well-known ports
registered ports
dynamic and private ports
2.2. Request for Telnet connection on port 23
Question 3
3.1. The utility ping (Packet Internet Groper) is used to verify that TCP/IP is installed, bound to the NIC,
configured correctly and communicating with the network.
3.2. On UNIX and Linux systems, use the ifconfig utility to view and manage TCP/IP settings.
3.3. The nslookup (name space lookup) utility allows you to query the DNS database from any computer
