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. Protocol used to transfer mail between a send mail server and microsoft exchange server






2. Integrated digital network






3. Process in which an NIDPS look for invalid data packets - packets that are malformed under the rules of the TCP/IP protocol

14. TFTP is a TCP/IP file transfer protocol that is designed for task such as the transfer of data to enable a diskless workstation to boot using files trasmitted from a server






15. Used by web browser and web servers to exchange files






16. The capacity to send and receive signals at the same time on the same medium.






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






18. A network on which any computer can communicate with other networked computers on an equal (peer) basis without going through an intermediary - such as a server. Peer-to-peer networking enables each computer to offer and access shared resources - suc






19. Secure sockets layer-encyrpts TCP/IP transmission including web forms- en route b/w the client server using public key encryption technology






20. Method of trasmitting data from a satellite






21. IDPS that examines network traffic in search of patterns that match known signatures






22. PPP






23. Lower sublayer of the Data Link layer; appends the physical address of the destination computer onto the fram






24. Failure of an IDPS to react to an actual attack event






25. EMI interference induced on one cable by signals traveling on a nearby cable






26. Application Layer






27. F type (like TV cable) or BNC (crimped)






28. Basic service set: a group of stations that share an access point






29. Routers work here

31. Regular voice-grade telephone service.






32. CSU






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






34. A network owned and maintained by an organization -such as a campus network operated by a college.






35. AMI






36. Open source program that allows you too remotely take over another workstation and walk through support process






37. Used to log on to a UNIX host






38. Technique for formatting signals in which one property of a carrier wave is modified by the addition of a data signal during transmission






39. A drawback of certification






40. Process of directing a datagram from its source through an internetwork to its destination using the most efficient path.






41. Any device connected to a network - such as a microcomputer - mainframe - midrange computer - network equipment - or printer. Also called a station.

43. Which protocol is responsible for splitting data into packets and adding a header to each one?






44. This layer in the OSI network model manages log on procedures and password recognition.






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






46. Useful for troubleshooting a network connectivity problem from workstation to another workstation






47. A type of transmission in which the entire channel capacity of the communications medium (such as cable) is used by one data signal - enabling only one node to transmit at a time.






48. A type of transmission that can vary continuously - as in a wave pattern with positive and negative voltage levels.






49. AH






50. Subgroup of EIA that focuses on standards for information technology - wireless - satellite - fiber optics - and telephone equipment; best known for network cable installation guidelines (TIA/EIA 568-B Series)
