• Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

• Intranet

• Within an enterprise

• Extranet

• Uses Internet-like services and protocols

26

Designing TCP/IP-Based Networks (continued)

• Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)• Protocol responsible for moving messages from

one mail server to another over TCP/IP-based networks

27

TCP/IP Mail Services

• MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)• Allows for messages that contain no more than

1000 ASCII characters

28

TCP/IP Mail Services (continued)

• Post Office Protocol (POP)• Application layer protocol used to retrieve

messages from a mail server

29

TCP/IP Mail Services (continued)

• Internet Mail Access Protocol (IMAP)• Retrieve all or only a portion of any mail message

• Review their messages and delete them while the messages remain on the server

• Create sophisticated methods of organizing messages on the server

• Share a mailbox in a central location

30

Additional TCP/IP Utilities

• Netstat• -a—Provides a list of all available TCP and UDP

connections

• -e—Displays details about all the packets

• -n—Lists currently connected hosts according to their port and IP address

31

Additional TCP/IP Utilities (continued)

• Netstat (cont.)• -p—Allows you to specify what type of protocol

statistics to list

• Must be followed by a protocol specification (TCP or UDP)

• -r—Provides a list of routing table information

• -s—Provides statistics about each packet transmitted by a host, separated according to protocol type (IP,TCP, UDP, or ICMP)

32

Additional TCP/IP Utilities (continued)

33

Additional TCP/IP Utilities (continued)

• Nbtstat• -a—Displays a machine’s name table given its

NetBIOS name

• -A—Displays a machine’s name table given its IP address

• -r—Lists statistics about names that have been resolved

• -s—Displays a list of all the current NetBIOS sessions

34

Additional TCP/IP Utilities (continued)

• Nslookup• Allows you to query the DNS database

35

Additional TCP/IP Utilities (continued)

36

Additional TCP/IP Utilities (continued)

• Whois• Allows you to query this DNS registration

database and obtain information about a domain

37

Additional TCP/IP Utilities (continued)

• Traceroute (Tracert)• -d—Instructs the traceroute command not to

resolve IP addresses to host names

• -h—Specifies the maximum number of hops

• -w—Identifies a timeout

38

Additional TCP/IP Utilities (continued)

39

Additional TCP/IP Utilities (continued)

• Ipconfig• /?—Displays a list of switches

• /all—Displays complete TCP/IP configuration

• /release—Releases DHCP

• /renew—Renews DHCP
