Which of the following protocols permits automated discovery of networked services on Local Area Networks (LANs)? A)SMB. B)AFP. C)CIFS. D)SLP.
The correct answer is D) SLP (Service Location Protocol).
SLP is a protocol that enables automated discovery of networked services on Local Area Networks (LANs). It allows devices on the network to advertise their available services and for other devices to query and discover those services.
SLP is an open standard and is supported by various operating systems and network devices.
A) SMB (Server Message Block) is a protocol used for sharing files, printers, and other resources on a network. It is commonly used in Windows networks.
B) AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) is a proprietary network protocol used by Apple devices for file services.
C) CIFS (Common Internet File System) is a protocol for accessing remote file resources over a network and is closely related to SMB.
While SMB, AFP, and CIFS are protocols commonly used for file and resource sharing, they do not specifically provide automated discovery of networked services like SLP does.
