Easily Memorize Port Numbers! (for CompTIA A+ Exam 220-1101, 220-1102, and more)

Some of these are pretty fun, some of these are a bit of a STRETCH.
But if you remember just a few of these because of this video, I did my job.

*** IMPORTANT NOTE: There are 65, 535 ports, NOT 65, 353 ports, it was just a typo that for some reason I didn't catch when I was recording the voiceover.
I'm not sure how I didn't catch this when I was recording it, and I'm pretty mad at myself about it.
It's a common number in PC terms, since in binary, it's 2 to the 16th power minus 1. I apologize for the confusion, and I will see if I can add an annotation in the video itself.

53 - DNS
5 syllables (do-main name sys-tem)
3 words (domain name system)

SNMP sounds like "snimp" which sounds like "shrimp", and 161 looks like |6| and the 6 is an upside-down cocktail shrimp in the middle of the "road"

LDAP is 389 and RDP is 3389. so if you remember one, you remember both. that's helped me.

Bless You!!!! ☺I just memorized 13 ports after watching this once! Also, thank you to the people who left comments on how they memorized a few. All of it helped.

Holy crap I was struggling with memorizing these ports for soo long, but after watching this video three times in a row, I aced them on quizlet flashcards. THANK YOU

[titusgitari]

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to share that I passed the CORE 2, and it wouldn't have been possible without the invaluable information from the video. 🙏🎉

THIS HELPS OUT ALOT! Thank you for this! Memorizing Port numbers has been torturing me, no matter how many times I study them & your examples are great! (I also had trouble trying to relate DNS to something relevant to me but couldnt either so dont worry lol)
Also, a fun one that helped me that I thought I would share would be for Port 143:
Typical IMAX movie screen ratios are in 1:43 / IMAP both utilize 143 (not sure if viewers know IMAX but those that do, hope this alternative helps as well)
Wish everyone all the best in their endeavors! "There is no glory in practice, but without practice, there is no glory"

Why does this channel only have 660 subs?!! Best CompTIA certification content on yt frfr

Very helpful. I’ve read the more crazy, weird, profane the image is, the better you remember it.

[des-Troy-ed]

Thanks for this concise and straight to the point video, hopefully, i pass core 1 this time (it cost me £180 to do the exam again).

DNS Do Not/use Salt if you are over 53 years old 😂

Thanks for making this video! I screen captured each one so I can print them and hang them at my work desk so I see them every day!!!

[SandeepKumar-zbuf]

Thanks bro, I appreciate the way you explained. I am planning to take a CompTIA A+ soon and your video is really helpful in remembering the ports.

I have my 220-1101 on Wednesday and where I'd been struggling mostly was how to memorise the ports! Thank you for this!

[shinatoIV]

Definitely going to rewatch this over and over.

[zethren_]

honestly this is going to help so much, I'm taking part one of the A+ next Wednesday and ports and printers are my biggest struggle.

[robbybaker]

Thank you! I have been "Santa Mailing" my way through my A+ studies.

This is exactly how I used to memorize stuff I needed to learn back in grade school, coming up with simple little things to help me remember! God bless you sir! This is just what I needed!
