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. Wavelength division multiplexing






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






3. A private network that functions like a tunnel though a large network-such as the Internet or an enterprise network-that is restricted to designated member clients only.






4. Which protocol allows users to recieve emails?






5. Teflon-coated cable that is used in plenum area because it does not emit a toxic vapor when burned






6. A type of transmission in which there are several transmission channels on a communications medium - allowing more than one node to transmit at the same time.






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






8. The NIC and network equipment are set up so that they have the capacity to send and receive simultaneously. which is possible because od buffering at the NIC.






9. American national standards institute






10. Application Layer






11. MDIX






12. The combination of an IP address's network ID and subnet information. By interpreting the address's extended network prefix - a device can determine the subnet to which an address belongs.
