    In here we must select four answers:
    • Two answers relate to PORTS
    • Two answers relate to PROTOCOLS and
    • The PORT must match the relevant PROTOCOL

    PORTS & PROTOCOLS
    So port 22 = SSH
    Port 23 = Telnet

    Explanation:
    The Question states that Jane was able to establish a connection to an internal router.
    Typical ports and protocols used to connect to a router include the following: SSH, Telnet
    SSH and Telnet both provide command line interfaces for administering network devices such as
