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. CIFS






2. Faster networking and inexpensive - flexible - easy to install






3. 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






4. A logical grouping of information that includes the network layer header and encapsulated data - but specifically does not include any headers and trailers below the network layer.






5. POE standard






6. Multimode fiber






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






8. A fixed number associated with a device's NIC






9. A generic term for data being transmitted






10. OSPF






11. Measure of a signal's strength






12. Name Of Layer 3






13. A 32 bit number that - when combined with a device's IP address - indicates the kind of supernet to which the device belongs.






14. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






15. A thin coaxial cable usually RG-58






16. Layer 3






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






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






19. Cyclic redundancy check






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






21. Cross talk that occurs between wire pairs near the source of a signal






22. A far-reaching system of networks that usually extends over approximately 48 kilometers (about 30 miles) and often reaches across states and continents.






23. 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.






24. CNAME






25. Http - Hypertext transfer protocol






26. Application Layer






27. A command-line utility that combines the functionality of the tracert and ping commands (similar to UNIX's mtr command) and comes with Windows XP - Vista - and Windows Server 2003 and Server 2008

31. Electronics industries Alliance






32. Frequency Division Multiple Access






33. Frequency division multiplexing






34. A protocol that runs in the Dession and Transport layers of the OSI model and associates NetBIOS names with workstations. NetBIOS alone is not routable because it does not contain Network Layer information. However - when encapsulated in another prot






35. Determines the network path on which to route packets - Help reduce network congestion - Establishes virtual circuits - Routes packets to other networks - resequencing packet transmissions when needed - Translates between protocols






36. Satellite used for broadband internet access






37. Computers connected together within a limited geographical area






38. Aversion of the traceroute utility found on some Linux distributions.

43. SMF






44. Attachment Unit Interface Cable equipped with 15 pin connectors






45. Uses multiple frequencies to transmit signal






46. Which protocol is responsible for routing packets around the network?






47. The <html> - <head> and <body> tags are all examples of ________ tags






48. MT-RJ






49. Functions at the network layer that add logical addresses and properly route data






50. Hubs and switches work here
