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. The physical layout of a computer network






2. Address resolution protocol






3. UN agency that regulates international telecommunications and provides developing countries with technical expertise and equipment to advance their technological bases






4. Hardware address of the network interface card






5. Voltage is varied and imprecise - more susceptible






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






7. Device with little - if any - of it's own processing or disk capacity; depends on a host to supply it with applications and data-processing services






8. 192-223






9. Theoretical. difference b/w highest and lowest frequency.






10. Process of adjusting IDPS to maximize efficiency in detecting true positives - while minimizing false positives and false negatives






11. SSH






12. Uses frame headers






13. 185 meters - 10Mbps






14. Twisted pair patch cable in which the termination locations of the transmit and receive wires on one end of the cable are reversed






15. LPD






16. Intelligently direct data between networks based on addressing - patterns of usage - and availability of network segments






17. AMI






18. Generates signals as changes in voltage at the NIC






19. NTP






20. Standards organizations representing 157 countries headquartered in Geneva. Goal is to establish international standards to facilitate global exchange of information and barrier-free trade






21. User watching an episode of TV show over the internet is what kind of communication






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






23. IEEE standard for broadband wireless in MAN (WiMAX)






24. Device that separates multiplexed signals once they are received and regenerates them in their original form






25. Is a protocol for defining host groups.






26. SLIP






27. The 100BaseVG/100VG-AnyLAN approach abandon the CSMA/CD transmission technique for one called demand priorTity.






28. A single computer that provides extensive multiuser access to network resources - such as shared files - shared disks - and shared printers.






29. CSMA / CD






30. Supplying electrical power through ethernet






31. Manages end-to-end delivery of data






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






33. Amplitude - frequency (Hz) - wavelength - wavy line






34. Frequency modulation-frequency of signal is modified






35. The medium that carries multiple signals simultaneously






36. 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






37. 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.






38. The part of a network to which segments and significant shared devices connect






39. 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






40. Data changed since the previous fill or incremental backup






41. A technique for transmitting data over a network by encapsulating it within another protocol.






42. Pipeline used to contain and protect cabling; usually made from metal






43. HTTP - SMTP - POP3 - VoIP






44. (local area network) network of computers and others that is confined to a relatively small space






45. Fiber optic - enables one fiber optic connection to carry multiple light signals simultaneously






46. NIS






47. A TCP/IP utility that queries the DNS database and provides information about a host given its IP address or vice versa. Dig is similar to the nslookup utility - but provides more information - even in its simplest form - than nslookup can.






48. Simple Network Management Protocol






49. 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.






50. Pointing in a direction
