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






2. Computers - devices - and connectivity necessary to rebuild a network exist - and all have appropriated configured updated and connected to match your networks current state. most expensive disaster recovery contingency to maintain






3. Multiple signals travel simultaneously - medium is separated into multiple channels






4. Signal interference caused by magnetic force field generated by electrical devices such as motors.






5. An algorithm used to verify the accuracy of data contained in a data frame.






6. Only two wire pairs are reversed






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






8. Activities finalize restoration of operations to a normal state and seek to identify source and method of intrusion to ensure same type of attack cannot occur again






9. Protocol data unit. An OSI term to refer generically to a grouping of information by a particular layer of the OSI model. More specifically - an LxPDU would imply the data and headers as defined by Layer x.






10. Hypertext Transfer Protocol






11. CRAM-MD5






12. A high-capacity communications medium that joins networks on the same floor in a building - on different floors - and across long distances.






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






14. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






15. Describes the relative strength over a three dimensional area of an antenna






16. A poplar alternative to FTP is NFS software offered by Sun Microsystems - which uses Sun's remotr procedure call specification via TCP port 111.






17. Attachment Unit Interface Cable equipped with 15 pin connectors






18. Experimentation 240-255






19. IPSec






20. Secure Shell






21. Analog - only one direction. radio frequency analog waves w differences in frequency. expensive - longer distance. ex. cable TV






22. QoS






23. Extent to which a signal has weakened after traveling a given distance






24. Network-max segment length-100 meters






25. A TCP/IP utility used to show or modify a client's host name.






26. A resistor that is connected to the end of a segment on a bus network - so that data-carrying signals are absorbed at the point where the segment stop. Aborbing the signals ensures they are not reflected back onto the cable after they reach the end-t






27. The fact that wireless signals follow a number of paths to their destination






28. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






29. A type of subnet that is created using bits that normally would be reserved for network class information by moving the subnet boundary to the left.






30. Which layer in the OSI is responsible for routing and controling the flow of packets around the network?






31. Is a file transfer protocol that uses s ecure shell (SSH)






32. Tool used to determine whether a customers line is obtaining dial tone from the CO






33. Application Layer






34. IDPS that examines network traffic in search of patterns that match known signatures






35. 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.






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






37. The most widely-used protocol that manages notes posted on usenet newsgroups






38. Networking technology developed at Xerox in the 70s and improved by Digital Equipment Corp - Inel - and Xerox. Most common form of network transmission - follows IEEE 802.3 standard






39. Consists of activities that deter intrusion






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






41. A network design built by running cable from one PC of file server to the next - like links in a chain.






42. String used to identify an access point - configure on your new access points to match the settings on existing access points






43. Refers to the IEEE 802.3z and IEEE 802.3ab standard for Ethernet communications speed up to 1 Gbps.






44. Shielded twisted pair






45. Transport Layer






46. IS designed for the exchange of electronic mail between networked systems -such as between mail servers over a TCP/IP network






47. Any device connected to a network - such as a microcomputer - mainframe - midrange computer - network equipment - or printer. Also called a node.






48. Protocol used to transfer mail between a send mail server and microsoft exchange server






49. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






50. Http - Hypertext transfer protocol
