Security policy, authentication and filtering troubleshooting1 h 30 min of study

Identify application-connectivity problems by testing service availability on the correct port and protocol, distinguishing between host reachability, transport-layer failure and application-layer rejection or timeout.

Interpret symptoms of network service misconfiguration involving NTP and other supporting services when they affect authentication, logging, policy enforcement or application behavior.

Use appropriate tools and commands to test name resolution, lease acquisition, path reachability and port accessibility, then correlate the results to isolate the failing service or device.

Verify restoration of service by confirming correct resolution, valid addressing, successful client-server session establishment and normal application behavior from the affected endpoint perspective.
