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. PRI






2. Traces path from one network node to another - identifying all intermediate hops b/w two nodes






3. IPv6 addressing - multicast group






4. Faster networking and inexpensive - flexible - easy to install






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






6. Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection






7. Internet Layer






8. Ethernet communications at speeds up to 100 Mbps as defined under the IEEE 802.3u standard.






9. Transport Layer






10. Device with little - if any - of it's own processing or disk capacity; depends on a host to supply it with applications and data-processing services






11. Physical Layer






12. Frequency division multiplexing






13. 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






14. A fiber-optic data transport method capable of a 100-Mbps transfer rate using a dual ring topology; largely supplanted today by faster Ethernet method.






15. Internet control message protocol






16. Network interface card






17. The actual data - any communication that encodes a message






18. Protocol that encapsulates data for transmission over VPNs






19. A Data Link sublayer that examines addressing information contained in a network frame and controls how devices share communications on the same network.






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






21. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






22. Name Of Layer 4






23. Secures messages being transmitted on the internet - uses RSA for authentication and encyption.






24. Routing protocol has the poorest convergence time






25. Any device connected to a network - such as a microcomputer - mainframe - midrange computer - network equipment - or printer. Also called a station.






26. IEEE standard describing specifications for wireless transmissions






27. Theoretical. difference b/w highest and lowest frequency.






28. Strategy in which all IDPS control functions are implemented and managed in a central location






29. 1000 representatives from industry and gov't who determine standards for electronics - chemical and nuclear engineering - health and safety - and construction






30. RJ 45






31. Transport Layer






32. Network segment that contains end nodes - such as workstations






33. Device that separates broadcast domain






34. Equals a single pulse in the digital encoding system






35. Which class of IP address would be allocated to a very large company?






36. ICS






37. The part of a network to which segments and significant shared devices connect






38. Which layer in the OSI is responsible for routing and controling the flow of packets around the network?






39. ADSL






40. 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.






41. Hardware device typically used to connect multiple LANs






42. Process of breaking large packets into smaller packets.






43. Facilities necessary for a service provider to connect with another organization LAN or WAN






44. Network File System






45. Connects networks larger than a LAN - but smaller than a WAN






46. Name Of Layer 5






47. A variation of CHAP designed by Microsoft






48. Compatible with 802.11a - b - g 600-65 throughput






49. A type of cable used in network wiring and is usually shielded - which means that it is more immune to interference then unshielded cables






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