Protocols and TCPIP Configuration

The document outlines various internet protocols including SLIP, PPP, IP, ARP, RARP, ICMP, FTP, HTTP, SMTP, TELNET, DHCP, and HTTPS, detailing their functions and uses. It also provides a short procedure for TCP/IP configuration on a computer. Each protocol serves a specific purpose in data transmission and network communication, with some being outdated or less commonly used today.

Protocols & TCP/IP Configuration (For 4 Marks)

1. SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol)


- Used to send internet data over serial (telephone) lines.
- Works between two computers only.
- Sends data in simple format without error checking.
- Does not support multiple protocols.
- Very old and replaced by better protocols like PPP.

2. PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol)


- Sends data over phone lines and serial links.
- Supports error detection and authentication.
- Can carry many types of internet traffic (IP, etc.).
- Works better than SLIP.
- Commonly used in dial-up and broadband.

3. IP (Internet Protocol)
- Breaks data into small packets for sending.
- Assigns an IP address to each device.
- Sends data to the correct destination.
- Does not check if data is received safely.
- Used by all devices on the internet.

4. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)


- Finds MAC address using a device's IP address.
- Works inside local networks (LAN).
- Helps devices communicate on the same network.
- Stores results in a table (ARP cache).
- Needed for sending data to the right hardware.

5. RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)


- Finds IP address from a known MAC address.
- Used by computers without stored IP addresses.
- Mostly used by diskless computers.
- Sends request to a RARP server.
- Not commonly used today.

6. ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)


- Used to send error and control messages.
- Helps test if a device is reachable (e.g., ping).
- Reports network problems like unreachable host.
- Works with IP.
Protocols & TCP/IP Configuration (For 4 Marks)

- Helps diagnose connection issues.

8. FTP (File Transfer Protocol)


- Used to upload and download files.
- Connects to a remote server.
- Requires username and password.
- Can transfer multiple files or folders.
- Not secure unless used with encryption.

9. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)


- Used to open and view websites.
- Transfers web pages, images, and text.
- Works between browser and web server.
- Uses port 80.
- Not secure by default.

10. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)


- Sends emails over the internet.
- Transfers email from sender to mail server.
- Uses port 25.
- Only for sending, not receiving.
- Works with other protocols like POP3 or IMAP.

11. TELNET
- Connects to remote computers using text commands.
- Used to control computers from far away.
- Works in command-line mode.
- Not secure (sends data in plain text).
- Uses port 23.

12. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)


- Gives IP address to devices automatically.
- Saves time compared to manual setup.
- Works when you connect to Wi-Fi or LAN.
- Also gives gateway and DNS info.
- Uses ports 67 and 68.

13. HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)


- Secure version of HTTP.
- Encrypts data for safe browsing.
Protocols & TCP/IP Configuration (For 4 Marks)

- Used for online shopping, banking, etc.


- Uses port 443.
- Shows a padlock symbol in browser.

TCP/IP Configuration - Short Procedure (For 4 Marks)


1. Go to Network Settings on your computer.
2. Select your network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
3. Open properties of 'Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)'.
4. Choose either 'Obtain IP Automatically' or enter Static IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS.
5. Save settings and test using 'ping' or check with 'ipconfig'.
