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. Is associated with unix/linux networks






2. Network device that makes high-level application connections on behalf of internal hosts and other machines






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






4. Which protocol is responsible for splitting data into packets and adding a header to each one?






5. Only two wire pairs are reversed






6. Protocol used to transfer mail between a send mail server and microsoft exchange server






7. Type of transmission in which signlas may travel in both directions over a medium - but only in one direction at a time






8. This phase determines how often systems should send each other quality statistics.






9. Layer 4






10. IEEE 802.3 Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer of the data link layer






11. Physical layout of a star topology and also ring logical topology






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






13. A TCP/IP troubleshooting utility that provides information about NetBIOs names and their addresses. If you know the NetBIOs name of a workstation - you can use nbtstat to determine its IP address






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






15. Change in signal strength as a result of reflection - scattering - or diffraction






16. Ppp over ethernet






17. A transmission method that has distinct signal levels to represent binary zeroes or ones - such as +5 volts and 0 volts.






18. Package for data that includes not only the data - or 'payload -' but also the sender's and recipient's addressing and control information. Generated at the Data Link layer and issued to the Physical layer






19. LLC






20. Allows clients to communicate in different floors






21. MPLS






22. Functions at the network layer that add logical addresses and properly route data






23. MAC Protocols






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






25. Device that separates a medium into multiple channels and issues signals to each of those subchannels






26. In CIDR notation - the number of bits used for an extended network prefix. For example - the CIDR block for 199.34.89.0/22 is /22






27. CNAME






28. RAS






29. A standard method or format for communication between networked devices






30. Name Of Layer 4






31. Basic service set: a group of stations that share an access point






32. A process in which a digital signature is placed in a driver. The digital signature helps ensure that the driver is tested and is compatible with the operating system and device for which it is written.






33. FHSS






34. A type of fiber optic connector. These connectors are square shaped and have release mechanisms to prevent the cable from accidentally being unplugged






35. A type of transmission that can vary continuously - as in a wave pattern with positive and negative voltage levels.






36. Is a challenge respone authentication protocol






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






38. A connector used to terminate coaxial cable used for transmitting television and broadband cable signals






39. Enables the establishment of a Web connection - but it also provides for the exchange of resources - for example - displaying AOL's Web page in your brower.






40. Type of transmission in which signals may travel in both directions over a medium simultaneously; also called duplex






41. An Application layer protocol used to retrieve messages from a mail server. When a client retrieves mail via POP - messages previously stored on the mail server are downloaded to the client's workstation - and then deleted from the mail server.






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






43. A set of routines that make up part of a software application






44. Connectivity device - data link layer (2) - reads header info to forward packets according to MAC addresses
