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.

13. The fact that wireless signals follow a number of paths to their destination






14. Teflon-coated cable that is used in plenum area because it does not emit a toxic vapor when burned






15. Works closely with IP in providing error and control information - by allowing hosts to exchange packet status information to help move the packets along the internetwork






16. Process of grouping almost identical alarms occurring at almost same time into single higher-level alarm






17. Transport Layer






18. Distinct communication path between two or more nodes; may be separated logically or physically

21. The pattern used to install a network medium






22. Nondata info that must accompany data for it to be properly routed. addition to data






23. A protocol data unit that has been transfered between OSI layers and then stripped of control information and transfere instructions.






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






25. The act of hacking into a hacker's system to find out as much as possible about the hacker






26. Aka main cross-connect - first point of interconnection between an organization's LAN or WAN and a service provider's facility






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






28. Amplitude modulation-amplitude of signal is modified






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






30. Network layer device






31. Device with little - if any - of it's own processing or disk capacity; depends on a host to supply it with applications and data-processing services






32. The process of attracting attention to a system by placing tantalizing information in key locations.






33. The NIC and network equipment are set up so that they have the capacity to send and receive simultaneously. which is possible because od buffering at the NIC.






34. A combination of techniques used to detect an intrusion and then to trace it back to its source






35. A TCP/IP troubleshooting utility that uses ICMP to trace the path from one networked node to another - identifying all intermediate hops between the two nodes. Traceroute is useful for determining router or subnet connectivity problems. On Windows-ba

41. A technique for connecting to a network at a remote location using Internet as the medium.






42. Ppp over ethernet






43. A type of address translation in which each private IP address is correlated with its own Internet-recognized IP address.






44. Source emits a RTS (request to send) signal to the access point - and the access point replies with CTS (clear to send) for the source to begin its transmission
