Right! B is definitely wrong. A and D are the way to go.
AR

I feel like B is misleading. ESP isn’t text-based.
LI
Ligia 6 months ago
A is a no-brainer. D seems plausible, though.
LE
Leota 6 months ago
I’m not sure about D. Isn’t L2TP more for tunneling?
MI
Mitsue 7 months ago
Agreed! A is definitely true. D makes sense too.
HE

I think A and D are correct. ESP is part of IPSec.
CA

C) That’s definitely wrong, it doesn’t operate at the application layer.
EL

B) Nope, it’s not text-based.

Wait, it uses TCP port 22? That’s surprising!
BR
Brandon 8 months ago
D) Totally agree, it can be nested with L2TP.
AN

B) is just silly. Everyone knows ESP is not a text-based protocol. What were they thinking?
LI
Lisha 8 months ago
A) is definitely true, but I'm not sure about D). Hmm, better double-check that one.
RO
Rodrigo 8 months ago
A) and D) are the right answers. I'm glad I studied my IPSec protocols.
ZO
Zona 9 months ago
A) is correct, but D) is not. L2TP is a different protocol.
FR
Fredric 9 months ago
A) and D) are correct.
CA
Carmen 9 months ago
I think I've seen practice questions where ESP was mentioned alongside L2TP, so option D could be a valid choice.
MI
Mila 9 months ago
I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like ESP operates at a lower layer than the application layer, so option C seems off to me.
CA
Carry 9 months ago
I remember studying that ESP is definitely part of IPSec, so I think option A is correct.
AS
Ashlyn 9 months ago
Ah yes, I remember ESP now. It's an IPSec protocol, so A is true. The other options don't seem to match what I know about ESP, so I'll go with A and skip the rest.
AR

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know ESP has something to do with IPSec, but I can't recall the specifics. I'll have to carefully read through the options and try to eliminate the ones that don't sound right. Hopefully I can at least get the two correct answers.
KA
Kaitlyn 10 months ago
Okay, I remember learning about ESP in my networking class. It's definitely an IPSec protocol, so A is correct. As for the other options, B, C, and D all sound incorrect to me. I'll focus on just picking the two true statements.
CA
Cammy 10 months ago
A) It is an IPSec protocol. True!
SH
Shayne 10 months ago
I recall that ESP is not text-based, which makes option B false, but I can't remember if it can be nested with L2TP for sure.
MA
Maryann 11 months ago
Hmm, I know ESP is related to IPSec, but I'm not sure if it's a protocol or just a component. The other options seem a bit off, I don't think ESP uses TCP port 22 or operates at the application layer.
JA
Janna 11 months ago
I'm pretty sure ESP is an IPSec protocol, so A is definitely true. Not sure about the other options though, I'll have to think about those.
