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.

12. Frequency Division Multiple Access






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






14. BootP






15. A app. loaded on a server included with Windows OS that enables remote access






16. The sender transmits the data to the destination without establishment of a connection.






17. Layer 6






18. IEEE standard for Ethernet devices and data handling






19. Eight bits of information; in a digital signaling system - one byte carries one piece of information






20. A logical communication path established by the OSI Network layer for sending and receiving data.






21. Connection based






22. Resistance that contributes to controlling an electrical signal; measured in ohms






23. Type of interference that may be caused by motors - power lines - televisions - copiers - etc






24. An algorithm used to verify the accuracy of data contained in a data frame.






25. Refers to the IEEE 802.3z and IEEE 802.3ab standard for Ethernet communications speed up to 1 Gbps.






26. Moving from one BSS to another without losing connectivity






27. Used to determine where patch cable for a specific server terminates on the patch panel - and checks for the presence of noise on a wire






28. Two twisted wire pairs. It's the oldes type and is only voice grade - it isn't rated for data communication.






29. Internet assigned numbers authority






30. A fiber-optic data transport method capable of a 100-Mbps transfer rate using a dual ring topology; largely supplanted today by faster Ethernet method.






31. Constructs data frames using the appropriate format for the network - reatea CRC information - Checks for errors using CRC information - Retransmits data if there is error - Initiates the communications link and makes sure it is not interrupted - thu






32. L2TP






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






34. A medium that carries 1 signal






35. Loop back address for IPv6






36. 3rd layer; protocols translate network addresses into their physical counterparts and decide how to route data from the sender to the receiver






37. Point to point protocol






38. A data-link protocol used for remote networking that can exchange IP addresses - carry data by multiple network layer protocols - and support different app. protocols.






39. Internet group management protocol






40. Authentication prtocol that does not issue a challenge or require 3rd party verification of the computer requestiing authentication






41. Transport Layer






42. Transport Layer






43. Ppp tunneling protocol






44. Attachment Unit Interface Cable equipped with 15 pin connectors






45. Consists of single cable that connects all nodes on a network without intervening connectivity devices - inexpensive - hard to find source of error - not very fault tolerant - data is transmitted in one direction in the ring.






46. Decoy systems designed to lure potential attackers away from critical systems






47. A process that ensures one device does not send information faster than it can be received by another device.






48. Value placed upon an IDPS's ability to detect/identify certain attacks correctly






49. 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.






50. Network segment that contains end nodes - such as workstations
