Which port is used by AppleTalk?

  1. 201

  2. 80

  3. 443

  4. 25

The correct answer is: 201

AppleTalk primarily uses port 201 for its AppleTalk Datagram Delivery Protocol (ADDP). This port facilitates communication between Apple devices on a local area network, enabling file sharing and printing services, among other functionalities. The protocol was designed for networks in a way that permitted seamless integration of various Apple devices, allowing them to discover and communicate with each other effectively. The other ports listed have distinct applications. For instance, port 80 is used for HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), primarily for web traffic, while port 443 is designated for HTTPS (HTTP Secure), which is the secure version of HTTP. Port 25 is commonly associated with SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), used primarily for email transmission. Understanding the function and application of these specific ports helps clarify why port 201 is associated uniquely with AppleTalk.
