CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 176

A technician needs to connect a user to a network share on the server. Which of the following ports should the technician allow through the firewall?

Answer options

• A. 67
• B. 137
• C. 143
• D. 445
• E. 3389

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Port 445 is utilized for SMB (Server Message Block), which is essential for accessing network shares on Windows servers. The other ports listed are used for different services; for example, port 67 is for DHCP, port 137 is for NetBIOS Name Service, port 143 is for IMAP, and port 3389 is for RDP, making them unsuitable for network share access.
