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. A type of address translation in which each private IP address is correlated with its own Internet-recognized IP address.






2. Is a host-to-host protocol like TCP - however it does not include mechanisms for ensuring timely delivery






3. Frequency division multiplexing






4. Name Of Layer 3






5. The general topic of how on one computer - two adjacent layers in a networking architectural model work together - with the lower layer proving services to the higher layer.






6. Strength of digital signal






7. NLM






8. Determines standards for the electronics industry and other fields - such as chemical and nuclear engineering - health and safety - and construction






9. Documented agreement containing technical specifications or other precise criteria used as guidelines to ensure that materials - products - processes - and services suit their intended purpose






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






11. Type of transmission in which signlas may travel in both directions over a medium - but only in one direction at a time






12. GSNW






13. Prevents broadcast storms by enabling switches to calculate paths that avoid potential loops and artificially block the links that would complete a loop






14. The process of determining the best path from Point A on one network to Point B on another






15. A single physical/non-physical medium for connecting computers






16. A medium that carries 1 signal






17. Decreasing the size of data units when moving data from a network that can handle larger units to one that can handle only smaller units






18. Unlicensed band with 11 channels






19. 5th layer; establishes and maintains communication between two nodes on the network; 'traffic cop'






20. 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.






21. Is used to enable IP address to be assigned automatically by a DHCP server on a network.






22. ICMP






23. A unit of data transmitted on a network that contains control and address information corresponding to the OSI Data Link layer - or Layer 2.






24. The IEEE standard for token ring networking devices and data handling.






25. Encompasses actions an organization takes when intrusion is detected






26. Which layer in the OSI network model is responsible for providing a set of interfaces for applications to obtain access to networked services?






27. A cable that consists of a single cable sheath containing a combination of fibers and copper cable.






28. Is usde to communicate time synchronization information between systemson a network






29. Every node on the network is connected through a central device like a switch - cannot be disabled by a single malfunction in a workstation - scalable - - popular - expensive - cable malfunction will only effect 2 workstations - more fault tolerant.






30. Uses frame headers






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






32. The more resistant to cross talk (STP)






33. 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






34. IMAP - internet message access protocol






35. Signals travel in one direction






36. A term used to refer to data within the Data-link layer of the OSI model.






37. Similar to bus topology - but the ends are connected






38. The communication between two networking devices for the purposes of the functions defined at a particular layer of a networking model - with the communication happening by using a header defined by that layer of the model. The two devices set values






39. Four twisted wire pairs rated for 250 MHz.






40. Data transmission that involves one transmitter and one receiver






41. An 8-bit character-coding method consisting of 96 uppercase and lowercase characters and numbers - plus 32 nonprinting characters.






42. Authentication prtocol that does not issue a challenge or require 3rd party verification of the computer requestiing authentication
