Networking Ports and Protocols (N10-009)

Welcome to the Networking Ports and Protocols Practice Lab. In this module, you will be provided with the instructions and devices needed to develop your hands-on skills.

Network ports and protocols are essential components of network communication, facilitating the exchange of data between devices. Ports are logical endpoints for communication, with each port corresponding to a specific service or application running on a device. Protocols, on the other hand, define the rules and formats for data exchange between devices.
