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.

18. Routers use it to identify nodes belonging to a multicast group






19. Controls the transport of data between systems






20. Most resistant to EMI






21. ICMP






22. Actual. how much data is transmitted during given time






23. AD






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






25. NCP






26. Is associated with unix/linux networks






27. Standard that describes a security technique - wireless networks - in which a port is prevented from receiving traffic until the transmitters credentials are verified by authentication server






28. A computer on a network that requests services or resources from another computer on a network






29. An IP addressing convention that adheres to network class distinctions - in which the first 8 bits of a Class A address - the first 16 bits of a Class B address - and the first 24 bits of a Class C address are used for network Information






30. A utility for viewing or modifying a host's routing table






31. Contains information that a wireless node needs to associate with an ap






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