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. MIB






2. Generates signals as changes in voltage at the NIC






3. A network design in which every node is connected to every other note - achieving fault tolerance.






4. A command-line utility that combines the functionality of the tracert and ping commands (similar to UNIX's mtr command) and comes with Windows XP - Vista - and Windows Server 2003 and Server 2008






5. Hard-to-define skills such as dependability






6. FTP - file transfer- control






7. A permanent telephone connection between 2 locations that provide a predetermined amount of bandwidth at all times






8. Total amount of communication cable that make up a network.






9. Private connection from a LAN to an internet service provider.






10. Which protocol provides the user with many functions of the world wide web?






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






12. 192-223






13. Transforms data into a form network or applications will understand






14. 128-191






15. This layer in the OSI network model breaks up the files into packets to allow them to be sent around the network.






16. Small network 192-223






17. Layer 5






18. Best fault tolerance






19. Pieces of hardware that connect the wire to the network device






20. Used with single mode or multi mode fiber optic cable






21. Rules determining the format and transmission of data






22. An Application layer protocol used to retrieve messages from a mail server. When a client retrieves mail via POP - messages previously stored on the mail server are downloaded to the client's workstation - and then deleted from the mail server.






23. Signals travel both directions simultaneously






24. Time division multiplexing






25. Physical layer standard for serial communications






26. Requires CSU/DSU-the connection point for a t1 live at customers site






27. Anything - hardware or software - that monitors transmission of packets of digital information that attempt to pass the perimeter of a network






28. 500 meters - 10Mbps






29. IEEE






30. Equivalent to OSI Layer 7 Application - Layer 6 Presentation - Layer 5 Session






31. Allows for secure interactive control of remote systems






32. Process in which an NIDPS inspects the higher-order protocols (HTTP - FTP - Telnet) are examined for unexpected packet behavior or improper use






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






34. Transport layer protocol that services a request without requiring a verified session and without guaranteeing delivery data






35. Packet a node sends to acknowledge that it received a SYN request for connection; 2nd of three-step connection process






36. A mail retrieval protocol that improves on the shortcomings of POP. The single biggest advantage IMAP4 has relative to POP is that it allows users to store messages on the mail server - rather than always having to download them to a local machine.






37. Supplying electrical power through ethernet






38. Analog - only one direction. radio frequency analog waves w differences in frequency. expensive - longer distance. ex. cable TV






39. A computer that has its own CPU and may be used as a stand-alone computer for word processing - spreadsheet creation - or other software applications. It also may be used to access another computer such as another workstation or server via a network.






40. Measure of frequency equivalent to the number of amplitude cycles per second






41. Type of transmission in which signals may travel in both directions over a medium simultaneously; also called duplex






42. Tracks running and graphing data from any workstations. should ensure that new routers and switches can support it in order to easily automate network management






43. Positive and zero. 1 and 0's.






44. Signals travel in one direction






45. Speed: 1000 Mbps - Alternative name: 1000BASE-LX - 1000BASE-SX - IEEE Standard: IEEE 802.3z - Cable Type: Fiber max length 550m (sx) - 5 km(lx)






46. 1) A computer (mainframe - minicomputer - server - or workstation) that has an operating system enabling multiple computers to access it at the same time for files - data - and services. Programs and information may be processed at the host - or they






47. SNMP






48. Slow wireless standard 11-18 throughput






49. Maintains and assigns IP addresses in the US






50. An adapter board designed to connect a workstation - server - or other network device to a network medium.
