IT: Networking Vocab

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. Example of an internetwork






2. Session initiation protocol-performed on VoIP - determines location of endpoints - and establishes sessions between endpoints






3. Used to resolve NetBIOS names w IP address






4. RAS






5. The most commonly used form of Internet Message Access Protocol.






6. Long reach. multimode max length is 550 meters. single mode max length is 5000. 1000 mpbs. baseband transmission






7. Telecommunications industry association






8. RDP






9. The capacity to send and receive signals at the same time on the same medium.






10. A connecting device for a network that accepts messages and passes them on to other parts of the network. Generally more intelligent than a hub.






11. Physical Layer






12. Used on many UNIX/LINUX systems to provide authentication security for TCP/IP applications such as Telnet and FTP






13. Large diameter. led/light is generated at different angles. high throughput - high noise resistance - excellent security - and long distances






14. Software that enables a computer to communicate with devices such as NICs - printers - monitors - and hard disk drives.






15. A connector that is used for thin coax cable and that has a boyonet-like shell.






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






17. Determines standards for the electronics industry and other fields - such as chemical and nuclear engineering - health and safety - and construction






18. Small Form Plug-gables - Plugs in to an interface on a switch






19. Two communication systems establish 2-way communication prior to the exchange of data






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






21. Device that receives and retransmits microwave data signals






22. Fiber Distributed Data Interface






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






24. Tools in order to connect a new RJ45






25. Cabling that transmit data using light waves. Higher bandwidth than other types of cabling.






26. An error condition on a token ring network that indicates one or more nodes is not functioning.






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






28. Value placed upon an IDPS's ability to detect/identify certain attacks correctly






29. RSA






30. Using part of a leased line






31. Network time protocol






32. Scrambles information into an alternative form that requires a key or password to decrypt the information.






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






34. Protocol data unit. An OSI term to refer generically to a grouping of information by a particular layer of the OSI model. More specifically - an LxPDU would imply the data and headers as defined by Layer x.






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






36. CHAP






37. 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.






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






39. 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






40. NFS






41. Model for understanding and developing computer-to-computer communication developed in the 80s by ISO; divides networking functions among 7 layers






42. 5th layer; establishes and maintains communication between two nodes on the network; 'traffic cop'






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






44. Device that can detect intrusion and launch an active response






45. 2nd set of characteristics that make up a device's MAC address. Added at the factory and is based on the device's model and manufacture date






46. Device that separates a medium into multiple channels and issues signals to each of those subchannels






47. Four twisted wire pairs rated for 100 Mhz.






48. What is the term used when every host on the network has a fixed IP address?






49. Physical layer. 1 gpbs throughput. baseband transmission. max length is 100 meters. cat 5e or higher utp. twisted pair.






50. Uses frame headers
