AIt uses TCP port 80 as the default port.

BIt is a protocol used in the Universal Resource Locater (URL) address line to connect to a
secure site.

CIt uses TCP port 443 as the default port.

DIt is a protocol used to provide security for a database server in an internal network.

Suggested Answer: B, C

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a protocol used in the Universal Resource Locater (URL) address line to connect to a secure site.

When an SSL connection is established between a Web browser and a Web server, HTTPS should be entered, instead of HTTP, as the protocol type in the URL. HTTPS uses TCP port 443 as the default port.

Answer option A is incorrect. TCP Port 80 is the default port for Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

Yup, B and C are the right answers!

A is definitely false, port 80 is for HTTP.

Wait, is it really used for database security? Sounds off.

Totally agree, B is correct too!

HTTPS uses TCP port 443, not 80.

I don’t think option D is correct since HTTPS is more about web security than database security, right?

I feel like I’ve seen questions about ports before, and I’m pretty sure HTTPS doesn’t use port 80, but I can't recall the exact details.

I remember studying that HTTPS is used in the URL for secure sites, so I think option B is definitely one of the answers.

I think HTTPS uses TCP port 443, but I'm not entirely sure about the default port for HTTP.

I've seen this issue before. My money's on the voicemail pilot number being missing from the call handling on Cisco Unity Express. That's where I'd start troubleshooting.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not sure I fully understand the differences between all these program and channel types. I'll need to review my notes and maybe ask the instructor for some clarification before attempting to answer.

This question seems straightforward, I think I can handle it.
