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. Actual. how much data is transmitted during given time






2. MIB






3. Physical Layer






4. Type of transmission in which signlas may travel in both directions over a medium - but only in one direction at a time






5. A station checks for existing wireless transmissions before starting the transmission






6. Transport Layer






7. Rules and configuration guidelines governing implementation and operation of IDPSs within an organization






8. ICA






9. Doesn't use frame headers - uses cells






10. IP






11. FDDI






12. Which protocol allows users to send emails?






13. Ppp over ethernet






14. A very high speed - long distance media that consists of a single strand of fiber glass that carries the signals. Can transmit data 50 times further than multimode fiber at a faster rate






15. Single mode fiber






16. A generic term referring to any set of protocols and standards collected into a comprehensive grouping that - when followed by the devices in a network - allows all the devices to communicate. Examples include TCP/IP and OSI.






17. Frequency modulation-frequency of signal is modified






18. Produces guidelines for how network cable should be installed in commercial buildings






19. IRC






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






21. Domain Name System






22. IMAP4






23. Every node on the network is connected through a central device like a switch - cannot be disabled by a single malfunction in a workstation - scalable - - popular - expensive - cable malfunction will only effect 2 workstations - more fault tolerant.






24. Basic error correction and detection






25. Is a method for automatically assigning address and other configuration parameters to network hosts.






26. Software that is stored on a chip in a device - such as in a ROM - and that typically composes some type of system software






27. IPv6 addressing - multicast group






28. EFS






29. A termination unit also called a transceiver or DSL modem






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






31. 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.






32. Simple Network Management Protocol






33. A TCP/IP utility that allows you to look up the DNS host name of a network node by specifying its IP address - or vice versa. This is useful for verifying that a hos is configured correctly and for troubleshooting DNS resolution problems






34. A generic term for data being transmitted






35. Reverse address resolution protocol






36. Why are web pages viewed using HTTP?






37. The process of wrapping one layer's PDU with protocol information so that it can be interpreted by a lower layer. For example - Data Link layer protocols encapsulate Network layer packets in frames.






38. Where demarc is located if an organization follows structured cabling standards






39. Device used to regenerate a signal






40. 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.






41. HTTP - SMTP - POP3 - VoIP






42. DSU






43. 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






44. FTP is an application that enables the transfer of data from one remote device to another - using TCP/IP






45. HDLC






46. A network design consisting of a continuous path for data with no logical beginning or ending point - and thus no terminators.






47. MAU






48. Physical Layer






49. ATM






50. Secure Shell
