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. What early protocol allows users to access machines remotley that has no security implemented within it?






2. Trivial File Transfer Protocol






3. A coaxial connector uses a twist and lock style - may be used with Rg-6 and RG-59






4. Signals on bus that would travel endlessly between two nodes






5. In TCP - a term used to describe a TCP header and its encapsulated data (also called an L4PDU). Also in TCP - the process of accepting a large chunk of data from the application layer and breaking it into smaller pieces that fit into TCP segments. In






6. A private computer network with resources accessible only to internal members.






7. Experimentation 240-255






8. All wires are reversed






9. A type of fiber optic connector. These connectors are square shaped and have release mechanisms to prevent the cable from accidentally being unplugged






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






11. Simple Network Management Protocol






12. Signals travel in both directions but only one at a time






13. System founded on using 1s and 0s to encode information






14. GSNW






15. The information transfered between layers in the same OSI stack






16. Max size of data units on Ethernet networks






17. First part of the datagram - which consists of general information about the size of the packet - the protocol that was used to send it - and the IP address of both the source computer and its destination.






18. A standard method or format for communication between networked devices






19. Protocol data unit






20. PDC






21. A thin coaxial cable usually RG-58






22. Direct-sequence spread spectrum: signal bits are distributed over a frequency band






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






24. LDAP






25. A device used to connect thicknet cable with a transceiver. A vampire bypasses the need to serve the cable - because the vampire tap has a metal tooth that pierces through the outside cable insulation (like a vampire) and connects with the copper wir






26. Cause by length - loss of signals as it travels farther away






27. Device used to regenerate a signal






28. A data link protocol used for remote networking that is rarely used today.






29. International Organization for Standardization






30. Physical layer. 100 mpbs throughout. baseband transmission. cat 5 or higher utp. max length is 100 meters. two wire twisted pair-full duplexing.






31. PRI






32. User datagram protocol






33. DSU






34. Rules and configuration guidelines governing implementation and operation of IDPSs within an organization






35. The gateway that first interprets a device's outbound requests - and then interprets its inbound requests to and from other subnets.






36. Computers connected together within a limited geographical area






37. Restructuring data units that have been segmented






38. Standard analog telephone system






39. First set of six characters that make up the MAC address and that are unique to a particular manufacturer






40. A type of transmission that can vary continuously - as in a wave pattern with positive and negative voltage levels.






41. On a computer that receives data over a network - the process in which the device interprets the lower-layer headers and - when finished with each header - removes the header - revealing the next-higher-layer PDU.






42. Each computer is connected to a central device






43. Used by web browser and web servers to exchange files






44. SONET






45. A station checks for existing wireless transmissions before starting the transmission






46. CNAME






47. Device that connects network segments and directs data based on information in the data packet






48. IEEE standard for broadband wireless in MAN (WiMAX)






49. Signals travel in one direction






50. Layer 3 Troubleshooting
