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. Is a method for automatically assigning address and other configuration parameters to network hosts.






2. Connection based






3. # of times that waves amplitude cycles - hertz






4. Application Layer






5. PRI






6. L2TP






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






8. On a cable-TV WAN - a central receiving point for signals from various sources - including satellite - major cable sources - and local tevevision sources.






9. Bootstrap Protocol






10. A computer that accesses another computer - such as a workstation that accesses a shared file on another workstation - server - or mainframe. The client may use the accessed computer (host) to process data - or may process accessed data using its own






11. A computer that has its own CPU and may be used as a stand-alone computer for word processing - spreadsheet genation - or other software applications. It also may be used to access another computer such as another workstation or server via a network.






12. 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.






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






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






15. Establishes maintains and terminates connections






16. Process in which an NIDPS inspects the higher-order protocols (HTTP - FTP - Telnet) are examined for unexpected packet behavior or improper use






17. Example of an internetwork






18. Helps you identify percentage of traffic that compromises broadcasts






19. A type of multimode fiber-optic cable in which the light-based signals follow uniform curved routes inside the cable - resulting in signals that all arrive at the same time and with less long-distance distortion than step-index cable.






20. RJ 45






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






22. Issue signals along a network medium






23. Internet corporation for assigned names and numbers






24. Subgroup of EIA that focuses on standards for information technology - wireless - satellite - fiber optics - and telephone equipment; best known for network cable installation guidelines (TIA/EIA 568-B Series)






25. ARP






26. 5th layer; establishes and maintains communication between two nodes on the network; 'traffic cop'






27. A Data Link sublayer of the OSI model that initiates the communication link between nodes and ensures the link is not unintentionally broken.






28. 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






29. Hardware that constitutes the enterprise-wide cabling system






30. Asynchronous digital subscriber line. Method of providing internet service that uses the standard phone line - but transmits data at a different frequency than voice. Faster than ISDN.






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






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






33. Data terminal equipment - little independent data processing capability. ex. workstation






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






35. A transport system that uses the CSMA/CD access method for data transmission on a network. Typically it is implemented in a bus or star-bus hybrid topology.






36. Open source program that allows you too remotely take over another workstation and walk through support process






37. Physical layer. 1 gpbs throughput. baseband transmission. max length is 100 meters. cat 5e or higher utp. twisted pair.






38. Physical layer. 10 giga bit throughput. baseband transmission. twisted pair. max length is 100 meters. cat 6 or 7.






39. Cabling that transmit data using light waves. Higher bandwidth than other types of cabling.






40. Services that handle hardware diagnoses and failure alerts






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






42. SSH






43. Control frame that indicates to the rest of the network that a particular node has the right to transmit data






44. 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.






45. Communications arrangement in which a single transmitter issues signals to multiple - defined recipients






46. IEEE standard for wireless networking






47. Packet a node sends to acknowledge that it received a SYN request for connection; 2nd of three-step connection process






48. MPLS






49. Cross talk with 2+ wires






50. International society composed of engineering professionals with goals of promoting development and education in the electrical engineering and computer science fields
