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. HTTP/web/internet - change this port to make it more difficult for someone to connect to your web server






2. A type of interference that occurs when two LAN cables run close to each other. If one cable is carrying a signal and the other isn't - the one carrying a signal will induce a 'ghost' signal in the other cable






3. OU






4. Virtually local area network-device-switch






5. DSU






6. A cable that consists of a single cable sheath containing a combination of fibers and copper cable.






7. Nondata information that mus accompany data in order for a signal to be properly routed and interpreted by the network






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






9. Station transmits a probe that is then replied by the access point






10. IEEE standard describing specifications for wireless transmissions






11. LC






12. A computer that accesses another computer - such as a workstation that accesses a shared file on another workstation - server - or mainframe. The client may use the accessed computer (host) to process data - or may process accessed data using its own






13. 1-126






14. Amount of data that can be transmitted over media or wireless at a time.






15. Four twisted wire pairs rated for 250 MHz.






16. Indication a system has just been attacked or is under attack






17. A network on which any computer can communicate with other networked computers on an equal (peer) basis without going through an intermediary - such as a server. Peer-to-peer networking enables each computer to offer and access shared resources - suc






18. Alert or alarm that occurs in the absence of an actual attack






19. Device typically used to create a VLAN






20. Aversion of the traceroute utility found on some Linux distributions.






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






22. Media access control






23. Requires CSU/DSU-the connection point for a t1 live at customers site






24. Can use WPA to improve the security of data in transit






25. Narrow core - light travels in one path - longest distance - more expensive then MMF






26. Panel of data receptors into which twisted pair wire is inserted to complete a circuit






27. HTTP - SMTP - POP3 - VoIP






28. A TCP/Ip troubleshooting utility that displays statistics and the state of current TCP/IP connections. It also displays ports - which can signal whether services are using the correct ports.






29. The more resistant to cross talk (STP)






30. The NIC and network equipment are set up so they cannot send and receive at the same time






31. The combination of an IP address's network ID and subnet information. By interpreting the address's extended network prefix - a device can determine the subnet to which an address belongs.






32. Central component of a cable designed to carry a signal






33. Cross talk that occurs between wire pairs near the source of a signal






34. A system of computers - printer devices - network devices - and computer software linked by communications cabling or radio waves.






35. A type of transmission in which there are several transmission channels on a communications medium - allowing more than one node to transmit at the same time.






36. Capability for a component or system to continue functioning despite damage or malfunction






37. Application Layer






38. IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer of the data link layer






39. An enclosed area - such as a false floor - or ceiling - in which pressure from air or gas can be greater than the pressure outside the enclosed area - particularly during a fire. Plenum area in buildings often extend to multiple rooms or extend throu






40. Address Resolution Protocol






41. IEEE standard for Ethernet devices and data handling






42. A device that converts an analog to digital signal and vice versa






43. Used on many UNIX/LINUX systems to provide authentication security for TCP/IP applications such as Telnet and FTP






44. A value or means of identifying a service on a network node - such as socket or port 103 for standerdized e-mail services in the TCP protocol.






45. 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.






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






47. Four twisted wire pairs rated for 100 Mhz.






48. Unit of data that results from subdividing a larger protocol data unit






49. Basic error checking and correction






50. Each node is connected to the two nearest nodes so that the entire network forms a circle - active - twisted pair of fiber optic - single malfunction in workstation can disable entire network - not flexible or scalbe
