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. Time division multiplexing






2. Signals on bus that would travel endlessly between two nodes






3. A series of interconnected computers - printing devices - and other computer equipment that share hardware and software resources. The services area usually is limited to a given office - floor - or building.






4. A TCP/IP utility that allows you to look up the DNS host name of a network node by specifying its IP address - or vice versa. This is useful for verifying that a hos is configured correctly and for troubleshooting DNS resolution problems






5. BERT






6. A type of multimode fiber-optic cable in which the light-based signals follow uniform curved routes inside the cable - resulting in signals that all arrive at the same time and with less long-distance distortion than step-index cable.






7. Physical Layer






8. Which layer in the OSI network model is responsible for providing a set of interfaces for applications to obtain access to networked services?






9. Set of protocols that specify how wireless networks works. Most common are currently B and G. N is an emerging standard.






10. Protocol data unit






11. Allows an attached computer to act as a dumb terminal - with data processing taking place on the TCP/IP host computer






12. Loop back address for IPv6






13. The oldest type of network design with - this topology consist fo multiple nodes attached to a central hub - switch - or router.






14. Used with single mode or multi mode fiber optic cable






15. The most popular type of network for medium- and large-scale organizations






16. UDP






17. Secure Sockets Layer






18. One transmitter issues signals to multiple receivers; receivers may be undefined or defined






19. Internet Engineering Task Force






20. Unix command at shell prompt to send a file to printer






21. Signal that uses variable voltage to create continuous waves - resulting in an inexact transmission






22. HTTP - SMTP - POP3 - VoIP






23. Layer 2 Troubleshooting






24. Name Of Layer 5






25. Telephone jacks






26. A connecting device for a network that accepts messages and passes them on to other parts of the network. Generally more intelligent than a hub.






27. IDPS that examines network traffic in search of patterns that match known signatures






28. Packet internet groper






29. The utility that allows you to query ICANN's DNS registration database and find information about a domain.






30. The IEEE standard for Ethernet networking devices and data handling (using the CSMA/CD access method)






31. Signals traveling on one wire infringes on the signal traveling over an adjacent wire






32. System founded on using 1s and 0s to encode information






33. Process by which attacker changes the format and/or timing of their activities to avoid being detected by the IDPS






34. OTDR






35. WAN transmission technologies that contains a segment that relied on 10GBase-EW standard






36. MIB






37. Controls the transport of data between systems






38. Method of trasmitting data from a satellite






39. The first set of six characters that make up the MAC address and that are unique to a particular manufacturer.






40. Virture privat network






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






42. CRAM-MD5






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






44. Application that will allow you to configure the workstation to tally these errors and send you and email message every time a problem occured






45. Is a file transfer protocol that uses s ecure shell (SSH)






46. Device with little - if any - of it's own processing or disk capacity; depends on a host to supply it with applications and data-processing services






47. Encrypts






48. PPTP






49. Connection based






50. Glass or plastic shield around the core of a fiber-optic cable; reflects light back to the core in patterns that vary depending on the transmission mode
