
Firewalls filter using TCP/IP characteristics:

IP addresses

Protocol numbers

Port numbers

identification
Network identifier Host identifier

Example: IP Address
142.204.34.136
Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0

You Learned
 Network Discovery is a Windows Vista
feature that simplifies the task of firewall
configuration by enabling you to block or
allow the protocols and ports needed for the
computer to browse and access the network.
 The Network Map utility uses the Link Layer
Discovery Protocol (LLTD) to detect network
devices and connections.
Chapter 7
You Learned (cont.)
 Most networks use DHCP to configure their
TCP/IP clients, but it is still possible to
configure them manually.
 Windows Vista includes a variety of
command line TCP/IP tools including
Ipconfig.exe, Ping.exe, Tracert.exe, and
Nslookup.exe.
