Subject : it-skills
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Knows which VLAN a stream of data belongs to by reading a tad added to each frames header






2. Experimentation 240-255






3. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






4. Netscape and Microsoft have implemented HTTPS to protect data transported via their Web browsers.






5. Length of time it takes for a packet to go from sender to receiver - then back to sender; measured in milliseconds






6. Transforms data into a form network or applications will understand






7. Communications for continuous burst of data controlled by a clock signal that starts each burst.






8. An algorithm used to verify the accuracy of data contained in a data frame.






9. A network design in which every node is connected to every other note - achieving fault tolerance.






10. A transmitter concentrates the signal energy at a single frequency or in a very small range of frequencies






11. Firewall packet inspection that examines the data contained in a packet as well as the state of the connection between internal and external computers.






12. Tools in order to connect a new RJ45






13. FTP - file transfer- control






14. Most common cabling used in networking. Usually connects nodes to the main network.






15. (WIde area network) Carry networks longer distances than Lans






16. Core TCP/IP protocol that operates in the Network layer and provided information about how and where data should be delivered; subprotocol that enables TCP/IP to inernetwork






17. RJ 45






18. NIDPS system that examines network traffic in order to identify problems related to the flow of traffic. Most sensors are passive mode deployment only.






19. Speed: 10 Mbps - Alternative Name: 10BASE-T - IEEE Standard: IEEE 802.3 - Cable Type: Copper - max length 100 meters






20. What is the term used when every host on the network has a fixed IP address?






21. On a computer that receives data over a network - the process in which the device interprets the lower-layer headers and - when finished with each header - removes the header - revealing the next-higher-layer PDU.






22. The number of times a signal's amplitude changes over a fixed period of time - expressed in cycles per second - Hz






23. CSU






24. Routers use it to identify nodes belonging to a multicast group






25. Application Layer






26. Equivalent to OSI Layer 2 Data Link & Layer 1 Physical






27. A cable TV company - such as Comcast Broadband.






28. The pattern used to install a network medium






29. Groups of workstations are star connect to connectivity devices and then networked via single bus - cover long distances - easy to interconnect - more expensive - ethernet






30. IEEE standard for Ethernet devices and data handling






31. Physical Layer






32. Type of protocol useful when data must be transferred quickly






33. The IEEE standard for broadband wireless metropolitan area networking (also known as WiMax)






34. A thin coaxial cable usually RG-58






35. Allows for secure interactive control of remote systems






36. Brief delay in processing - length of cable can contribute to this






37. Resistance that contributes to controlling an electrical signal; measured in ohms






38. Actual. how much data is transmitted during given time






39. Network standard that can reliaby transmit data farthest






40. Point of division between a telecommunications service carrier's network and a building's internal network






41. Lowest or 1st layer; protocols generate and detect signals so as to transmit and receive data over a network medium - also set the data transmission rate and monitor data error rates - but do not provide error correction






42. Supplying electrical power through ethernet






43. More reliable then analog - noise doesn't affect as much - more efficient - fewer errors






44. An app. that provides centralized authentication and authorization services for a network.






45. Individual insulated wire pairs - less expensive then STP - less resistant to noise






46. Consists of single cable that connects all nodes on a network without intervening connectivity devices - inexpensive - hard to find source of error - not very fault tolerant - data is transmitted in one direction in the ring.






47. Initiates the communication link - Makes sure the communication link is maintained - Determines which node transmits at any point in time - such as which one transmits first - Disconnectd when a communication session is over - Translates node address






48. IPSec






49. An IP addressing convention that adheres to network class distinctions - in which the first 8 bits of a Class A address - the first 16 bits of a Class B address - and the first 24 bits of a Class C address are used for network Information






50. 1) A computer (mainframe - minicomputer - server - or workstation) that has an operating system enabling multiple computers to access it at the same time for files - data - and services. Programs and information may be processed at the host - or they
