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. Helps you identify percentage of traffic that compromises broadcasts






2. WAN transmission technologies that contains a segment that relied on 10GBase-EW standard






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






4. Compresses






5. Name Of Layer 4






6. Specify clients configurations to adhere to this subnet






7. Data transmission that involves one transmitter and one receiver






8. Open Systems Interconnection model is standard description or reference model for how messages should be transmitted between any 2 points in a telecommunications network.






9. Set of protocols that specify how wireless networks works. Most common are currently B and G. N is an emerging standard.






10. Layer 2 Troubleshooting






11. Wrapping one layer's PDU with protocol information so that it can be interpreted by a lower layer






12. The most popular type of network for medium- and large-scale organizations






13. Address resolution protocol






14. Network Layer






15. An adapter board designed to connect a workstation - server - or other network device to a network medium.






16. Fiber Distributed Data Interface






17. A generic term referring to the header defined by some layer of a networking model - and the data encapsulated by the header ( and possibly trailer) of that layer - but specifically not including an lower-layer headers and trailers.






18. A network that links multiple LANs in a large city or metropolitan region.






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






20. NLM






21. Multiplexing technique use over single-mode or multimode fiber-optic cable in which each signal is assigned a different wavelength for its carrier wave; little space exists between carrier waves






22. Which layer in the OSI network model is responsible for providing a set of interfaces for applications to obtain access to networked services?






23. Style of data transmission in which the pulses that represent bits follow one another along a single transmission line; sequentially issued






24. Trivial File Transfer Protocol






25. Layer 5






26. Device similar to a burglar alarm in that it detects a violation and activates an alarm.






27. RAS






28. Receives a signal on one end - interprets it as 0 & 1 - then generates a new clean signal on the other end.






29. Requires many pulses to transmit same info that an analog can transmit in a wave






30. Works closely with IP in providing error and control information - by allowing hosts to exchange packet status information to help move the packets along the internetwork






31. After typing ping 127.0.0.1 - it tells you the test failed






32. Network time protocol






33. Event that triggers alarm when no actual attack is in progress






34. An established guidline that specifies how networked data is formatted into packet or frame - how it is transmitted - and how it is interpreted at the receiving end.






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

40. The physical layout of a computer network






41. Response generated atTransport layer confirming to sender that its frame was received; 3rd step in establishing a connection






42. Connectivity device - data link layer (2) - reads header info to forward packets according to MAC addresses






43. Allows an attached computer to act as a dumb terminal - with data processing taking place on the TCP/IP host computer






44. Individual insulated wire pairs - less expensive then STP - less resistant to noise






45. A drawback of certification






46. (fix) if analog shield twisted pairs or if digital with a repeater






47. 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.






48. MT-RJ






49. Each computer is connected to a central device






50. The process of enclosing data for transmission
