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. Unix command at shell prompt to send a file to printer






2. Network news transfer protocol






3. Max size of data units on Ethernet networks






4. Constructs data frames using the appropriate format for the network - reatea CRC information - Checks for errors using CRC information - Retransmits data if there is error - Initiates the communications link and makes sure it is not interrupted - thu






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






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






7. Standards organizations representing 157 countries headquartered in Geneva. Goal is to establish international standards to facilitate global exchange of information and barrier-free trade






8. The cableing or radio waves used to connect one network computer to another - or one network to another - and transport data between them.






9. IDPS that uses profiles to detect anomalous protocol behavior






10. Pulses of precise - positive voltages and zero voltages (binary)






11. Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection






12. What is the currency of Denmark?






13. It enables the sending node to obtain the MAC address of the intended recipient before packets are sent.






14. Simple Network Management Protocol






15. Telephone jacks






16. 12-character string that uniquely identifies a network node - hard coded into the NIC by the manufacturer; composed ot the block ID and device ID






17. A computer that has its own CPU and may be used as a stand-alone computer for word processing - spreadsheet creation - or other software applications. It also may be used to access another computer such as another workstation or server via a network.






18. A TCP/IP utility that queries the DNS database and provides information about a host given its IP address or vice versa. Dig is similar to the nslookup utility - but provides more information - even in its simplest form - than nslookup can.






19. BRI

28. BERT






29. Is a system that is distributed throughout the internetwork to provide address/name resolution.






30. Voltage is varied and imprecise - more susceptible






31. 3rd layer; protocols translate network addresses into their physical counterparts and decide how to route data from the sender to the receiver






32. Binary values for each bit position






33. Pieces of hardware that connect the wire to the network device






34. A coaxial connector uses a twist and lock style - may be used with Rg-6 and RG-59






35. An established guideline that specifies how networked data is formatted into a packet or frame - how it is transmitted - and how it is interpreted at the receiving end.

37. Reverse address resolution protocol






38. Physical layer standard for serial communications






39. Secure CoPy-utility that allows you to copy files securely from host to another






40. Device that boosts - or strengthens - and analog signal






41. The process of wrapping one layer's PDU with protocol information so that it can be interpreted by a lower layer. For example - Data Link layer protocols encapsulate Network layer packets in frames.






42. Multiplexing based on priority






43. Translates data to a format the receiving node understands - such as from EBCDIC to ASCII - Performs data encryption - Performs data compression






44. Control frame that indicates to the rest of the network that a particular node has the right to transmit data






45. Faster wireless standard 20-25






46. Connects multiple LANs






47. Enables network managers to continuously monitor network activity
