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.

20. A term referring to a data-link header and trailer - plus the data encapsulated between the header and trailer.






21. A Data Link sublayer that examines addressing information contained in a network frame and controls how devices share communications on the same network.






22. Wide area network






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






24. IEEE 802.3 Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer of the data link layer






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






26. Time Division Multiple Access






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






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






29. Reflection in multiple different directions of a signal






30. Max number of hops a packet can take b/w its source and destination using RIP on a LAN






31. A network whose access is restricted to only clients or machines with proper credentials.






32. This layer in the OSI network model manages log on procedures and password recognition.
