Question

Your company just installed a new web server within your DMZ. You have been asked to open up the port for secure web browsing on the firewall. Which port should you set as open to allow users to access this new server?

Answer 1

Answer:

The port that should be set open to allow users to access this new server is:

TCP port.

Explanation:

Ports are openings or entrance doors through which data packages have access to a PC or server.  TCP and UDP are transport protocols with port numbers.  TCP means Transmission Control Protocol.  They are used to connect two devices over the internet and other networks.  UDP means User Datagram Protocol.  They are used to connect applications and to speed the transfer of data.  Comparatively, UDP is faster, simpler, and more efficient than TCP.  TCP enables retransmission of lost data packets, which UDP cannot do.
