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.

8. Packet internet groper






9. Collection of honey pots connecting several honey pot systems on a subnet






10. The placement of data from a higher-layer protocol behind the header (and in some cases - between a header and trailer) of the next-lower-layer protocol. For example - an IP packet could be encapsulated in an Ethernet header and trailer before being






11. A series of interconnected computers - printing devices - and other computer equipment that share hardware and software resources. The services area usually is limited to a given office - floor - or building.






12. A specially configured connection on a network device that is capable of viewing all the traffic that moves through the entire device.






13. BSD






14. A switching method that enables multiple devices to communicate over the same commnications medium by creating time slots in which each device transmits.






15. Pulses of precise - positive voltages and zero voltages (binary)






16. The physical cables that link computers in a network






17. 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






18. 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






19. A logical grouping of information that includes the network layer header and encapsulated data - but specifically does not include any headers and trailers below the network layer.






20. Uses frame headers






21. Integrated digital network






22. Twist wire so you don't get interference on the memory






23. GSNW






24. Issue signals along a network medium






25. Name Of Layer 1






26. FHSS






27. User friendly web addresses are translated into IP addresses by the...






28. Binary values for each bit position






29. Divides channel into different time slots and assigns data to nodes who are attached to time slots






30. 7th layer; protocols enable software programs to negotiate formatting - procedural - security - synchronization - and other requirements with the network






31. A type of fiber optic cable connector that uses a mechanism similar to the BNC connectors used by Thinnet






32. Data Link sublayer that manages flow control






33. 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






34. 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.






35. Application Layer






36. FTP-Data - file transfer data






37. Single mode fiber






38. Which address is split in to four 8-bit parts called octets?






39. A form of address translation that uses Tcp port numbers to distinguish each client's transmission - thus allowing multiple clients to share a limited number of Internet-recognized IP addresses.






40. 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






41. An IP addressing and subnetting method in which network and host information is manipulated without adhering to the limitations imposed by traditional network class distinctions. CIDR is also known as classless routing or supernetting. Older routing






42. MDIX






43. A term used to refer to data within the Network layer of the OSI model.






44. Cyclic redundancy check






45. Allows clients to communicate in different floors






46. A network transport control method used in Ethernet networks. It regulates transmission by sensing the presence of packet collisions.






47. Multicast group 224-239






48. A medium that carries 1 signal






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






50. A situation in which two or more packets are detected at the same time on an Ethernet network.
