IT: Networking Vocab

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. Dynamic host configuration protocol






2. Provides FTP - HTTP - SMTP...






3. Device that receives and retransmits microwave data signals






4. VPN






5. Provides strung security for HTTP- transpored information - but it is only used by some vendor's application






6. Application layer protocol that formulates and interprets requests between Web clients and servers






7. Crimp into pins 1 and 2 of RJ 45 connector






8. Physical Layer






9. IMAP - internet message access protocol






10. Ethernet communications at speeds up to 100 Mbps as defined under the IEEE 802.3u standard.






11. A transport system that uses the CSMA/CD access method for data transmission on a network. Typically it is implemented in a bus or star-bus hybrid topology.






12. A physical layer standard that defines a method for building a synchronous telecommunications network based on fiber-optic cables.






13. Internet corporation for assigned names and numbers






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






15. SCP






16. A drawback of certification






17. Physical and Data Link layers






18. Transmission that involves one transmitter and multiple - undefined receivers






19. 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






20. Transport Layer






21. To make more efficient use of limited numbers of legitimate IP addressing






22. The distinct units of data that are exchanged between nodes on a network

26. Method of trasmitting data from a satellite






27. Cyclic redundancy check






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






29. DSU






30. Form of transmission that allows multiple signals to travel simultaneously over one medium






31. Techniques that employ hardware and software to provide assurance against equipment failures - computer service interruptions - and data loss.






32. Connector with 9 pins - commonly used in a serial communication that conforms to the rs-232 standard






33. Example of an internetwork






34. Strategy in which all control functions are applied at the physical location of each IDPS component






35. A single computer that provides extensive multiuser access to network resources - such as shared files - shared disks - and shared printers.






36. Internet Engineering Task Force






37. Application Layer






38. The pattern used to install a network medium






39. The number of times a signal's amplitude changes over a fixed period of time - expressed in cycles per second - Hz






40. Manages IP address allocation and the domain name system






41. Device that acts as a wireless switch so that nodes can connect wirelessly to a network.






42. A connector that is used for thin coax cable and that has a boyonet-like shell.






43. Measure of a signal's strength






44. MT-RJ






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






46. American national standards institute






47. A wireless station listens on all channels for a bacon frame from an access point






48. The ability to send or receive signals on a medium - but not at the same time.






49. Prevents two nodes transmitting at the same time






50. Not-for-profit agency that manages distribution of IP addresses; ARIN for Americas and Sub-Saharan Africa - APNIC for Asia-Pacific - RIPE for Europe and North Africa
