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. A connecting device for a network that accepts messages and forwards them to the correct section of the network. Generally more intelligent than a hub and a switch.






2. A single computer that provides extensive multiuser access to network resources - such as shared files - shared disks - and shared printers.






3. A high-capacity communications medium that joins networks on the same floor in a building - on different floors - and across long distances.






4. Several ethernet nodes can be connected and can monitor traffic or access media simultaneously






5. ICMP






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






7. Each node passively listens for then accepts data






8. EMI interference induced on one cable by signals traveling on a nearby cable






9. Why are web pages viewed using HTTP?






10. Is a secure form of HTTP






11. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






12. Communications for continuous burst of data controlled by a clock signal that starts each burst.






13. # of times that waves amplitude cycles - hertz






14. The oldest type of network design with - this topology consist fo multiple nodes attached to a central hub - switch - or router.






15. Type of interference caused by signals traveling on nearby wire pairs infringing on another pair's signal






16. The process of wrapping one layer's PDU with protocol information so that it can be interpreted by a lower layer. For example - Data Link layer protocols encapsulate Network layer packets in frames.






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






18. FM






19. Application Layer






20. A device that must be located at each end of a leased line.






21. Measure of a signal's strength






22. Layer 2






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






24. Secure Shell






25. Network time protocol






26. LDAP






27. LC - ST - SC - or MT RJ






28. 1) A computer (mainframe - minicomputer - server - or workstation) that has an operating system enabling multiple computers to access it at the same time for files - data - and services. Programs and information may be processed at the host - or they






29. Associates a MAC address with a given IP address - reverse ARP






30. Power loss - the amount of signal that is lost as it travels though the communication medium from the source (transmitting node) to the receiving node.






31. A service on a node






32. 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.






33. Network File System






34. The general topic of how on one computer - two adjacent layers in a networking architectural model work together - with the lower layer proving services to the higher layer.






35. More variable - convey greater subtleties with less energy






36. A transmission method that has distinct signal levels to represent binary zeroes or ones - such as +5 volts and 0 volts.






37. A network on which any computer can communicate with other networked computers on an equal (peer) basis without going through an intermediary - such as a server. Peer-to-peer networking enables each computer to offer and access shared resources - suc
