IT: Networking Vocab

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. ARP






2. The distinct units of data that are exchanged between nodes on a network






3. Feeding everybody in building






4. A logical process of combining bits. In ANDing - a bit with a value of 1 plus another bit with a value of 1 results in a 1. A bit with a value of 0 plus any other bit results in a 0.






5. Glass/plastic - light pulses high throughput - resistant to noise - most expensive cable






6. Tools in order to connect a new RJ45






7. POE standard






8. GSNW






9. Security for https://






10. SSH - secure shell






11. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






12. Port used during a domain name lookup






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






14. AFP






15. A network on which any computer can communicate with other networked computers on an equal (peer) basis without going through an intermediary - such as a server. Peer-to-peer networking enables each computer to offer and access shared resources - suc






16. An international body that establishes communications and networking standards - and that is particularly known for its contributions to network protocol standards.






17. The Application layer TCP/IP subprotocol responsible for moving messages from one e-mail server to another.






18. Provides th transfer medium (such as cable) - Translates data into a transmission signal appropriate to the transfer medium - Sends the signal along the transfer medium - Includes the pyical layout of the network - Monitors for transmission error - D






19. Example of an internetwork






20. Network Access Layer






21. Length of time it takes for a packet to go from sender to receiver - then back to sender; measured in milliseconds






22. A process in which a digital signature is placed in a driver. The digital signature helps ensure that the driver is tested and is compatible with the operating system and device for which it is written.






23. Network cable that contains pairs of insulated wires that are twisted together and surrounded by a shielding material for added EMI and RFI protection - all inside a protective jacket.






24. IANA






25. Network Layer






26. RSA






27. Signals on bus that would travel endlessly between two nodes






28. Basic service set: a group of stations that share an access point






29. This layer in the OSI network model manages log on procedures and password recognition.






30. An international organization of scientists - engineers - technicians - and educators that plays a leading role in developing standards for network cabling and data transmissions.






31. Routing protocol has the poorest convergence time






32. A transmission method that has distinct signal levels to represent binary zeroes or ones - such as +5 volts and 0 volts.






33. Amount of data that can be transmitted over media or wireless at a time.






34. IPv6 addressing - multicast group






35. Event that triggers alarm when no actual attack is in progress






36. Translated network addresses into their physical counterparts






37. A variation of CHAP designed by Microsoft






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






39. Technology that uses standard telephone wires and allows transmission of voice and data information. Slower than ADSL.






40. A 32 bit number that - when combined with a device's IP address - indicates the kind of supernet to which the device belongs.






41. A mail retrieval protocol that improves on the shortcomings of POP. The single biggest advantage IMAP4 has relative to POP is that it allows users to store messages on the mail server - rather than always having to download them to a local machine.






42. Data transmission that involves one transmitter and one receiver






43. A connecting device for a network that accepts messages and forwards them to the correct section of the network. Generally more intelligent than a hub and a switch.






44. Error detection and correction






45. L2F






46. Honey pot that has been protected so it cannot be easily compromised






47. Modulates digital into analog in transmitting end and demodulates analog into digital in recieving end






48. Ethernet NICs listen on network and wait until they detect no other nodes transmitting data






49. Application Layer






50. Which layer in the OSI network model handles data format information for networked communications?
