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. Maintains and assigns IP addresses in the US






2. Only two wire pairs are reversed






3. The seventh layer of the OSI model. Application layer protocols enable software programs to negotiate formatting - procedural - security - synchronization - and other requirements with the network.






4. Public switched telephone network






5. Short tube within a fiber-optic cable connector that encircles the fiber strand and keeps in properly aligned






6. AFP






7. Network File System






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






9. Not individually insulated but shielded. use when there is noise.






10. Twisted pair cable consisting of a number of twisted pairs of copper wire with a simple plastic casing. Because - no shielding is used in this cable - it is very susceptible to EMI - RFI - and other types of interference






11. Is a protocol for defining host groups.






12. Generates signals as changes in voltage at the NIC






13. Network Layer






14. The process of reconstructing segmented data






15. The combination of an IP address's network ID and subnet information. By interpreting the address's extended network prefix - a device can determine the subnet to which an address belongs.






16. 4th layer; protocols ensure that data are transferred from point A to point B reliably and without errors; services include flow control - acknowledgment - error correction - segmentation - reassembly - and sequencing






17. ADSL






18. Internet corporation for assigned names and numbers






19. Sequences packets in correct order






20. Lowest or 1st layer; protocols generate and detect signals so as to transmit and receive data over a network medium - also set the data transmission rate and monitor data error rates - but do not provide error correction






21. 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






22. American national standards institute






23. Core TCP/IP protocol that operates in the Network layer and provided information about how and where data should be delivered; subprotocol that enables TCP/IP to inernetwork






24. Is a secure form of HTTP






25. FDDI






26. Positive and zero. 1 and 0's.






27. AD






28. Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol






29. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






30. A situation in which two or more packets are detected at the same time on an Ethernet network.






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






32. Trivial file transfer protocol






33. A series of interconnected computers - printing devices - and other computer equipment that shares hardware and software resources. The service area usually is limited to a given office area - floor - or building.






34. (local area network) network of computers and others that is confined to a relatively small space






35. A specialized UN agency that provides developing countries with technical expertise and equipment






36. Physical Layer






37. An authentication protocol that uses public key technology to provide users with secured access to network resources.






38. Multicast group 224-239






39. Data transmission that involves one transmitter and one receiver






40. Signals travel both directions simultaneously






41. What is an agreed set of rules that two parties agree on in order to communicate with each other commanly known as?






42. Unshielded twisted pair






43. Private connection from a LAN to an internet service provider.






44. Layer 2 Troubleshooting






45. Provides service that ensure accurate and timely delivery of network communications between two hosts






46. Application layer protocol used to access information stored in a directory






47. A utility for viewing or modifying a host's routing table






48. Is usde to communicate time synchronization information between systemson a network






49. 7th layer; protocols enable software programs to negotiate formatting - procedural - security - synchronization - and other requirements with the network






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