IT: Networking Vocab

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. Netscape and Microsoft have implemented HTTPS to protect data transported via their Web browsers.






2. Trivial file transfer protocol






3. Network time protocol






4. A fiber-optic data transport method capable of a 100-Mbps transfer rate using a dual ring topology; largely supplanted today by faster Ethernet method.






5. Transmission that involves one transmitter and multiple - undefined receivers






6. Short reach. only multimode-max length is 500. baseband transmission. 1000 mpbs.






7. A cable TV company - such as Comcast Broadband.






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






9. Unlicensed band with 11 channels






10. 500 meters - 10Mbps






11. Secure sockets layer-encyrpts TCP/IP transmission including web forms- en route b/w the client server using public key encryption technology






12. Integrated digital network






13. Multimode fiber






14. Round time trip. time it takes for packet to get from sender to receiver and back






15. Wavelength division multiplexing






16. 4th layer; protocols ensure that data are transferred from point A to point B reliably and without errors; services include flow control - acknowledgment - error correction - segmentation - reassembly - and sequencing






17. L2F






18. Network news transfer protocol






19. A set of routines that make up part of a software application






20. A data transmission rate






21. 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






22. Digital subscriber line- support multiple data and voice channels over a single line - extraordinary throughput though telephone lines






23. Process by which attacker changes the format and/or timing of their activities to avoid being detected by the IDPS






24. The ability to send or receive signals on a medium - but not at the same time.






25. A network owned and maintained by an organization -such as a campus network operated by a college.






26. LDAP






27. A network design consisting of a continuous path for data with no logical beginning or ending point - and thus no terminators.






28. The number of times a signal's amplitude changes over a fixed period of time - expressed in cycles per second - Hz






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






30. What is an agreed set of rules that two parties agree on in order to communicate with each other commanly known as?






31. Presentation Layer






32. UN agency that regulates international telecommunications and provides developing countries with technical expertise and equipment to advance their technological bases






33. Services that allow remote users to connect to the network






34. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






35. Hardware device typically used to connect multiple LANs






36. Uses multiple frequencies to transmit signal






37. Actual. how much data is transmitted during given time






38. Measure of frequency equivalent to the number of amplitude cycles per second






39. Unit of data at any layer of the OSI model






40. Used connecting a workstation to a routers console part






41. Narrow core - light travels in one path - longest distance - more expensive then MMF






42. Controls how applications access network






43. Issue signals along a network medium






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






45. Enables network managers to continuously monitor network activity






46. Station transmits a probe that is then replied by the access point






47. Signals travel in one direction






48. Network Layer






49. Internet Engineering Task Force






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