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.

17. Single mode fiber






18. Method of gauging the appropriate rate of data transmission based on how fast he recipient can accept data






19. A device that must be located at each end of a leased line.






20. Service data unit






21. Collection of honey pots connecting several honey pot systems on a subnet






22. A specially configured connection on a network device that is capable of viewing all the traffic that moves through the entire device.






23. Internet society






24. Firewall packet inspection that examines the data contained in a packet as well as the state of the connection between internal and external computers.






25. A standard method or format for communication between networked devices






26. Segment

32. Using part of a leased line






33. The more resistant to cross talk (STP)






34. On a computer that receives data over a network - the process in which the device interprets the lower-layer headers and - when finished with each header - removes the header - revealing the next-higher-layer PDU.






35. PDC






36. The first set of six characters that make up the MAC address and that are unique to a particular manufacturer.






37. IEEE 802.3 Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer of the data link layer
