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. 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






2. Data Link sublayer that manages flow control






3. A type of multimode fiber-optic cable that reflects the light-based signals like a mirror within the cable - resulting in different signals arriving at different times and with an increased likeihood of distortion over longer cable runs.






4. A logical process of combining bits. In ANDing - a bit with a value of 1 plus another bit with a value of 1 results in a 1. A bit with a value of 0 plus any other bit results in a 0.






5. Device that separates broadcast domain






6. Provides service that ensure accurate and timely delivery of network communications between two hosts






7. Routers use it to identify nodes belonging to a multicast group






8. Manages IP address allocation and the domain name system






9. Process of retransmitting a digital signal; repeats the pure signal without the noise






10. IDPS's ability to dynamically modify its configuration in response to environmental activity






11. Which class of IP address would be allocated to a very large company?






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






13. IKE






14. A remote connection where the client computer is a low-end computer that communicates with a terminal server.






15. Internet Layer






16. The physical layout of cable and wireless network devices and the logical path followed by network frames or packets sent on the cable or by wireless transmissions.






17. More reliable then analog - noise doesn't affect as much - more efficient - fewer errors






18. MDIX






19. A TCP/IP utility that at its simplest returns either to IP address of a host if its host name is specified or its host name if its IP address is specified






20. On a network using the MIcrosoft Internet Connections Sharing service - the computer whose Internet connection other computers share. The ICS host must contain two network interfaces: one that connects to the Internet and one that connects to the LAN






21. MSAU






22. Which layer is responsible for putting data into frames as well as providing error checking data?






23. Prevents two nodes transmitting at the same time






24. MPLS






25. Regular voice-grade telephone service.






26. Consists of single cable that connects all nodes on a network without intervening connectivity devices - inexpensive - hard to find source of error - not very fault tolerant - data is transmitted in one direction in the ring.






27. File Transfere Protocol






28. Manages network communication - available on a CD-ROM for example - that is used to manage communications and how frames or packets are sent using a protocol.






29. A systematic survey of all of the target organization's Internet addresses that is conducted to identify network services offered by hosts in that range






30. LC






31. A TCP/IP troubleshooting utility that uses ICMP to trace the path from one networked node to another - identifying all intermediate hops between the two nodes. Traceroute is useful for determining router or subnet connectivity problems. On Windows-ba






32. Allows an attached computer to act as a dumb terminal - with data processing taking place on the TCP/IP host computer






33. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






34. The physical layout of the cable and wireless network devices and the logical path followed by network frames and packets sent on the cable or by wireless transmissions






35. Internet assigned numbers authority






36. Wireless standard






37. Layer 5 through 7 Troubleshooting






38. Network segment that contains end nodes - such as workstations






39. Connection for data exchange between two parties






40. CRAM-MD5






41. Domain Name System






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






43. Constructs data frames using the appropriate format for the network - reatea CRC information - Checks for errors using CRC information - Retransmits data if there is error - Initiates the communications link and makes sure it is not interrupted - thu






44. LC - ST - SC - or MT RJ






45. RADIUS






46. A fixed number associated with a device's NIC






47. Device similar to a burglar alarm in that it detects a violation and activates an alarm.






48. Serial internet protocol






49. Physical layout of a star topology and also ring logical topology






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