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.

10. PPP






11. Digital - one signal one channel at a time (half duplexing) ex. ethernet






12. A connecting device for a network that accepts messages and broadcasts them out to the rest of the network.






13. SSH






14. A network on which any computer can communicate with other networked computers on an equal (peer) basic without going though an intermediary - such as a server. Peer-to-Peer networking enables each computer to offer and access shared resoures - such

21. Process of grouping almost identical alarms occurring at almost same time into single higher-level alarm






22. A computer on a network that requests services or resources from another computer on a network






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






24. Ppp tunneling protocol






25. Used to resolve NetBIOS names w IP address

37. Provides services for applications






38. Wrapping one layer's PDU with protocol information so that it can be interpreted by a lower layer






39. Four twisted wire pairs rated for 100 Mhz - but capable of handling the disturbance on eash pair that's caused by transmitting on all four pairs at the same time.






40. The ability to send or receive signals on a medium - but not at the same time.






41. 6th layer; protocols translate between Application and Network layers; data are formatted so that the network can understand - with the format varying according to the type of network; manages data encryption and decryption - such as scrambling of sy






42. Hardware device typically used to connect multiple LANs






43. Saturation of network bandwidth caused by excessive traffic - as when a large number of computers or devices attemp to transmit simultaneously - or when computers or devices presist in transmitting repeatedly.






44. SMF






45. A very high speed - long distance media that consists of a single strand of fiber glass that carries the signals. Can transmit data 50 times further than multimode fiber at a faster rate
