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.

5. Integrated digital network






6. (metropolitan area network) used with a handful of buildings and larger then a LAN - connects two or more Lans






7. 3rd layer; protocols translate network addresses into their physical counterparts and decide how to route data from the sender to the receiver






8. Also called the star-wired bus topology - a network design that combines the logial comunications of a bus with the physical layout of a star.

10. 6th layer; protocols translate between Application and Network layers; data are formatted so that the network can understand - with the format varying according to the type of network; manages data encryption and decryption - such as scrambling of sy






11. Running system for a while to track types of false positives it generates and then adjusting IDPS alarm classifications






12. Transport layer protocol that services a request without requiring a verified session and without guaranteeing delivery data






13. Feeding everybody in building






14. Scrambles information into an alternative form that requires a key or password to decrypt the information.






15. Manages IP address allocation and the domain name system






16. After typing ping 127.0.0.1 - it tells you the test failed






17. Device used to regenerate a signal






18. Term that describes current anti-intrusion technologies






19. Any device connected to a network - such as a microcomputer - mainframe - midrange computer - network equipment - or printer. Also called a station.






20. Four twisted wire pairs with three twists per foot. This type can handle transmissions up to 16 MHz. Now limited to telecommunication equipment






21. Services that handle hardware diagnoses and failure alerts






22. You may set up a web server on companys access server - allowing global connections - for employees to access






23. Also called the star-wired ring topology - a network design in which the logic communication are in a ring - but the phyical layout of the network star.






24. (fix) if analog shield twisted pairs or if digital with a repeater






25. Frequency modulation-frequency of signal is modified






26. This layer in the OSI transforms bits into electromagnetic signals.






27. The process of attracting attention to a system by placing tantalizing information in key locations.






28. The shorter the wavelength






29. Also called the physical or device address - the hexadecimal number permanently assigned to a network interface and used by the MAC sublayer within the DATA Link layer (Layer 2).






30. Communications cable that consists of one or more glass 0r plastic fiber cores inside a protective cladding material - covered by a plastic PVC outer jacket. Signal transmission along the inside fibers typically uses infrared light.

35. A term used to refer to data within the Data-link layer of the OSI model.






36. IDPS that uses profiles to detect anomalous protocol behavior






37. Transport layer protocol that requires the establishment of a connection between communicating nodes before it will transmit data






38. The most commonly used form of Post office protocol.






39. A technique for transmitting data over a network by encapsulating it within another protocol.






40. Synchronises data exchange






41. Layer 4 Troubleshooting






42. An established guidline that specifies how networked data is formatted into packet or frame - how it is transmitted - and how it is interpreted at the receiving end.






43. Is a protocol designed for managing complex networks






44. 12-character string that uniquely identifies a network node - hard coded into the NIC by the manufacturer; composed ot the block ID and device ID
