Port Address

This document discusses port addresses and types of ports. It introduces Emily, a network administrator who faces challenges troubleshooting issues due to numeric port addresses. It then covers the definition of a port, hardware and software ports such as USB ports, and port addressing including well-known ports (0-1023), registered ports (1024-49151), and dynamic/private ports (49152-65535). The document explains how ports are part of the transport layer and included in network packets, and how organizations like IANA manage port number assignment.

Meet Emily

• Meet Emily, an e-commerce


network admin.
• Scenario: Emily faces
difficulties troubleshooting
network issues due to the
numeric nature of port
addresses.
Emily 's Challenge

• Challenge: Managing numeric


port addresses becomes a
bottleneck during the
investigation.
• Impact: Slows down the
identification and resolution of
the network issue.
WHAT IS PORT?
TERM PORT DERIVED FROM LATIN WORD
PORTA

LOGICAL CONCEPT

HELP IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF PROCESS

USED WITH IP ADDRESSES


TYPES OF PORTS

TWO TYPES:
Types of
1. HARDWARE PORTS Ports

2. SOFTWARE PORTS
Hardware Software
Ports Ports
HARDWARE PORT

• HARDWARE PORTS ARE PHYSICAL CONNECTORS

• ALLOW TO CONNECT EXTERNAL DEVICES LIKE CABLES

TYPES OF HARDWARE PORT:

 USB PORT (UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS)

 HDMI PORT (HIGH-DEFINITION MULTIMEDIA INTERFACE)

 ETHERNET PORT, ETC.


USB PORT
• USED HARDWARE INTERFACE STANDARD

• USB FACILITATES DATA TRANSFER

KEY POINTS OR USES OF USB PORTS

 CONNECTING INPUT DEVICES LIKE KEYBOARDS

 CONNECTING PRINTERS AND SCANNERS.

 SUPPORTING VARIOUS OTHER PERIPHERALS LIKE


WEBCAMS, ETC.
USB PORT SPECIFICATIONS

• USB 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, AND 3.1 WITH DIFFERING DATA TRANSFER SPEEDS.

• THE INTRODUCTION OF USB-C

• USB POWER DELIVERY (USB-PD) FOR FAST CHARGING

• THE ABILITY OF USB TO SUPPORT HOT-SWAPPING


VIDEO
USB PORT EXAMPLE

•Imagine a computer with USB ports labeled A, 1, and B


•Keyboard in USB Port A becomes the primary input device
•Mouse in USB Port 1 functions as a secondary pointing device
•The printer, connected to USB Port B, serves as a dedicated print
SOFTWARE PORT

• THE ADAPTATION OR MODIFICATION OF A COMPUTER PROGRAM

• COMPATIBILITY ENHANCEMENT

• COMPATIBILITY AND FUNCTIONALITY

• IMPROVING USER ACCESS


PORT ADDRESSING/NUMBERS
• PORT ADDRESSING USE NUMERICAL IDENTIFIERS

• ASSIGNED TO EVERY PROCESS TO EXCHANGE DATA

THE IP ADDRESS:

• TO UNIQUELY IDENTIFY THE MACHINES ON THE INTERNET

THE PORT ADDRESS (PORT NUMBER):

• THIS NUMBER CAN RANGE FROM 0–65535.


PORTS ARE PART OF WHICH LAYER?
• PORTS ARE A TRANSPORT LAYER (LAYER
4) CONCEPT, NOT A NETWORK LAYER

• ONLY TRANSPORT PROTOCOLS HAVE A


SECTION FOR INDICATING PORT NUMBERS

• IN THEIR HEADER WITH IP ADDRESS


PORT ADDRESS IN NETWORK PACKETS
• SOURCE PORT ADDRESS • DESTINATION PORT ADDRESS
• Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, or IANA.
• IANA serves as the Registrar, playing a pivotal role in the assignment of well-
known port numbers.

Firewalls:
 Communication is authorized and secure
 A Packet is a legitimate guest or a potential intruder
 Protecting systems and data from unauthorized access,
attacks, and threats
Types of Port Addressing:

Registered Ports Dynamic or


Well-Known
(1024-49151) Private Ports
Ports
(49152-65535)
(0-1023)
WELL-KNOWN PORT

• LOW PORT NUMBERS (0-1023)

• PART OF THE STANDARDIZED PORT

• MOSTLY USED FOR INTERNET COMMUNICATION

FOR EXAMPLE, PORT 80 IS COMMONLY ASSOCIATED WITH HTTP (WEB TRAFFIC).


WELL-KNOWN PORT
DEFINED SERVICES, RECOGNIZED AND EFFICIENT:

• EXAMPLES INCLUDE HTTPS (PORT 443), SMTP (PORT 25)

• SIMPLIFY THE IDENTIFICATION AND CONNECTION

SECURITY AND FIREWALL CONFIGURATION:

• CRUCIAL ROLE IN NETWORK SECURITY

• COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS


REGISTER PORT

• WELL-DEFINED PORT RANGES USED FOR INTERNET COMMUNICATION

• NOT AS COMMONLY RECOGNIZED AS WELL-KNOWN PORTS

• RESERVED FOR SPECIFIC SERVICES OR APPLICATIONS

• EXAMPLES:
DATABASE MANAGEMENT (MYSQL, PORT 3306), RDP (REMOTE DESKTOP PROTOCOL,
PORT 3389), PPTP (POINT-TO-POINT TUNNELING PROTOCOL, PORT 1723)
REGISTER PORT
RANGE:

• RANGING FROM 1024 TO 49151.

• PORT NUMBERS IN THIS RANGE ARE ASSIGNED (IANA)

SECURITY AND FIREWALL CONFIGURATION:

• COMPLIANCE

• PORT FILTERING
DYNAMIC PORT
• ALSO KNOWN AS "EPHEMERAL PORTS" OR "PRIVATE PORTS.“

• TEMPORARY ASSIGNMENT

• ASSIGNED BY THE OPERATING SYSTEM FOR CLIENT-SIDE


COMMUNICATION

• HIGH PORT NUMBERS

• PORT RANGE CONFIGURATION(49152-65535)


DYNAMIC PORT

NAT AND FIREWALLS:

• NAT FACILITATES THE SHARING OF A SINGLE PUBLIC IP ADDRESS AMONG


MULTIPLE DEVICES USING DYNAMIC PORT ASSIGNMENTS

• FIREWALL ADDS A LAYER OF SECURITY BY CONTROLLING AND MONITORING


TRAFFIC

EXAMPLE:

• WEB BROWSERS OFTEN USE DYNAMIC PORTS TO CONNECT TO WEB SERVERS


VIA HTTP.

• THE OPERATING SYSTEM ASSIGNS AN AVAILABLE DYNAMIC PORT FOR EACH


CONNECTION
THANK
YOU.
