Question

You have a small business network with a single subnet connected to the Internet through a Cisco router (RouterA). IP addresses have been assigned as shown in the Exhibit.

A browser session on the workstation tries to connect to the web server using _______ and port _______.

What IP address and port number will the Web server use as the destination address when responding to the workstation's request?

Answer 1

The browser session will use the HTTP protocol and port number 80 to connect to the web server. The web server will respond using the IP address 192.168.1.10 and port number 80 as the destination address.

Step-by-step explanation:

The browser session on the workstation will connect to the web server using the HTTP protocol and port number 80.

When the web server responds to the workstation's request, it will use the IP address 192.168.1.10 (the IP address of the web server) and the same port number (port 80) as the destination address.

The use of HTTP and port 80 is the default configuration for web servers and browsers to communicate over the internet.
