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.

8. A switching method that enables multiple devices to communicate over the same commnications medium by creating time slots in which each device transmits.






9. (fix) if analog an amplifier or if digital with repeater






10. Dynamic host configuration protocol






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






12. Nondata info that must accompany data for it to be properly routed. addition to data






13. OTDR






14. Strategy that combines the best of the other two strategies; while individual agents still analyze and respond to local threats - their reporting to a hierarchical central facility enables the organization to detect widespread attacks






15. Application Layer






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






17. 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.






18. A type of subnet that is created using bits that normally would be reserved for network class information by moving the subnet boundary to the left.






19. International Organization for Standardization

21. Fiber optic - enables one fiber optic connection to carry multiple light signals simultaneously






22. Internet control message protocol






23. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






24. Media access control






25. A data transmission rate






26. (WIde area network) Carry networks longer distances than Lans






27. A network topology in which all of the nodes are connected to a central line or bus






28. The scheme for assigning a unique identifying number to every node on a network






29. A type of point-to-point digital WAN connection that uses standard phone lines to provide high-speed comm.






30. More variable - convey greater subtleties with less energy






31. The organized research of the Internet addresses owned or controlled by a target organization.






32. A gateway that operates on the Internet backbone.






33. Virtually local area network-device-switch

35. MX






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






37. Also called the star-ring hybrid - topology - a network design in which the logic communication are in a ring - but the phyical layout of the network star.






38. PPP






39. IEEE standard for Ethernet devices and data handling






40. Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection






41. A type of multimode fiber-optic cable that reflects the light-based signals like a mirror within the cable - resulting in different signals arriving at different times and with an increased likeihood of distortion over longer cable runs.






42. NIDPS system that examines network traffic in order to identify problems related to the flow of traffic. Most sensors are passive mode deployment only.






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






44. Routing protocol most likely used to replace a router for that handles traffic to and from the companies connection to its NSP
