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. Failure of an IDPS to react to an actual attack event






2. 2nd set of characteristics that make up a device's MAC address. Added at the factory and is based on the device's model and manufacture date






3. Requires many pulses to transmit same info that an analog can transmit in a wave






4. Is used to enable IP address to be assigned automatically by a DHCP server on a network.

6. Electromagnetic interference






7. Plain old telephone service






8. Telecommunications industry association






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






10. Which layer is responsible for putting data into frames as well as providing error checking data?






11. A boundary between two zones of trust






12. A network transport control method used in Ethernet networks. It regulates transmission by sensing the presence of packet collisions.






13. AD






14. Integrated digital network






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






16. Physical Layer






17. Public switched telephone network






18. Point to point protocol






19. SMF






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






21. GSNW






22. An IP addressing and subnetting method in which network and host information is manipulated without adhering to the limitations imposed by traditional network class distinctions. CIDR is also known as classless routing or supernetting. Older routing






23. 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).






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






25. IPX & SPX






26. Direct-sequence spread spectrum: signal bits are distributed over a frequency band






27. SSID






28. Ethernet LAN-all forms of Ethernet media and interface






29. Device that modulates analog signals into digital signals for transmission over telephone lines - and demodulates digital signals into analog for the receiving end






30. This layer in the OSI network model breaks up the files into packets to allow them to be sent around the network.






31. A gateway that operates on the Internet backbone.






32. Ensures reliablity of packet transmissions from node to node - Ensures that data is sent and received in the same order - Provides acknowledgement when a packet is received - Monitors for packet transmission errors and resends bad packets - Breaks la






33. Open System Interconnection






34. Which protocol allows users to send emails?






35. Is used to route electronic mail through the internetwork






36. 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






37. Unwanted signals from sources near network cabling - such as motors and power lines






38. Reflection in multiple different directions of a signal






39. A type of point-to-point digital WAN connection that uses standard phone lines to provide high-speed comm.






40. OTDR






41. The IEEE standard for token ring networking devices and data handling.






42. (local area network) network of computers and others that is confined to a relatively small space






43. Logical link control






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






45. Serial internet protocol






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






47. Type of punch-down block used to terminate telephone circuits; does not meet Cat 5 or better standards






48. Cause by EMI/RFI - and other packets - interference on the signal






49. The placement of data from a higher-layer protocol behind the header (and in some cases - between a header and trailer) of the next-lower-layer protocol. For example - an IP packet could be encapsulated in an Ethernet header and trailer before being






50. BIND
