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. Internet protocol security-defines encryption - authentication - and key management for TCP/IP transmission






2. The wave splits into secondary waves






3. Physical Layer






4. FTP-Data - file transfer data






5. A term referring to a data-link header and trailer - plus the data encapsulated between the header and trailer.






6. Integrated digital network






7. A form of fiber-optic cable that supports only one signal transmission at a time and that is used mainly for long- distance communication.






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






9. Ppp over ethernet






10. BIND






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






12. Hubs and switches work here






13. ACL






14. International telecommunication Union






15. 5 segments b/w two nodes - 4 repeating devices - and 3 segments connected by two repeating devices






16. Cabling that transmit data using light waves. Higher bandwidth than other types of cabling.






17. Form of transmission in which digital signals are sent through direct current pulses applied to a wire; can only send one signal at a time






18. Physical Layer






19. NIS






20. A type of interference that occurs when two LAN cables run close to each other. If one cable is carrying a signal and the other isn't - the one carrying a signal will induce a 'ghost' signal in the other cable






21. A switchhing method that creates separte channels on one communication medium by establishing different frequencies for each channel.






22. A versatile - chainable serial-bus technology that connects up to 127 devices at speeds of 1.5 Mbps and 12 Mbps as well as 480 Mbps.






23. Saturation of network bandwidth caused by excessive traffic - as when a large number of computers or devices attemp to transmit simultaneously - or when computers or devices presist in transmitting repeatedly.






24. POE standard






25. Standard analog telephone system






26. A fiber-optic data transport method capable of a 100-Mbps transfer rate using a dual ring topology; largely supplanted today by faster Ethernet method.






27. Developed by ISO and ANSI - a model that providees a framework for networked hardware and software communication based on seven layers.






28. QoS technique enables packet switches technologies to travel over traditionally circuit switched connections






29. PRI






30. Max number of hops a packet can take b/w its source and destination using RIP on a LAN






31. IDPS that uses profiles to detect anomalous protocol behavior






32. Address resolution protocol






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






34. A coaxial connector uses a twist and lock style - may be used with Rg-6 and RG-59






35. Resistance that contributes to controlling an electrical signal; measured in ohms






36. Enables network managers to continuously monitor network activity






37. NTP






38. Basic error correction and detection






39. Rules determining the format and transmission of data






40. Bootstrap Protocol






41. Network-max segment length-100 meters






42. IPX & SPX






43. Physical Layer






44. An error condition on a token ring network that indicates one or more nodes is not functioning.






45. Has 25 pins also commonly used with serial communication that conforms to the rs-232 standard






46. T1






47. Speed: 1000 Mbps - Altenative name: 1000BASE-T - IEEE Standard: IEEE 802.3ab - Cable type: copper max length 100m






48. A data link protocol used for remote networking that is rarely used today.






49. Enables the establishment of a Web connection - but it also provides for the exchange of resources - for example - displaying AOL's Web page in your brower.






50. BDC
