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. Provides a generic method of transferring files






2. IANA






3. A single computer that provides extensive multiuser access to network resources - such as shared files - shared disks - and shared printers.






4. Each node is connected to the two nearest nodes so that the entire network forms a circle - active - twisted pair of fiber optic - single malfunction in workstation can disable entire network - not flexible or scalbe






5. Large networks 1-126






6. One transmitter issues signals to multiple receivers; receivers may be undefined or defined






7. Traces path from one network node to another - identifying all intermediate hops b/w two nodes






8. A TCP/IP utility that at its simplest returns either to IP address of a host if its host name is specified or its host name if its IP address is specified






9. Name Of Layer 4






10. AM






11. Hardware that constitutes the enterprise-wide cabling system






12. Assigning a placeholder to each piece of a block of data to allow the receiving node's Transport layer to reassemble the data in the correct order






13. Unique identifying number for a network node; follows a hierarchical addressing scheme; can be assigned through OS software; added to data packets and interpreted by protocols at the Network layer






14. Process of retransmitting a digital signal; repeats the pure signal without the noise






15. Upper sublayer in the Data Link layer. Provides a common interface and supplies reliability and flow control services






16. Device that separates multiplexed signals once they are received and regenerates them in their original form






17. As defined by the EIA/TIA-568 standard - cable that runs between network equipment rooms - floors - and buildings.






18. Type of transmission in which signals may travel in both directions over a medium simultaneously; also called duplex






19. IPX






20. Packet internet groper






21. Uses multiple frequencies to transmit signal






22. The process of attracting attention to a system by placing tantalizing information in key locations.






23. Doesn't use frame headers - uses cells






24. A fixed number associated with a device's NIC






25. Uses light to communicate a signal; the light is dispersed on numerous paths as it travels through the core and is reflected back. Provides high bandwidth at high speeds over medium distances up to about 3000 feet






26. The IEEE stanard for error and flow control in data frames.






27. Media access control






28. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers






29. ATM






30. Device similar to a burglar alarm in that it detects a violation and activates an alarm.






31. Any device connected to a network - such as a microcomputer - mainframe - midrange computer - network equipment - or printer. Also called a station.






32. Is a TCP/IP service that converts a computer or domain name to an IP address or that converts an IP address to a computer or domain name.






33. System founded on using 1s and 0s to encode information






34. Pipeline used to contain and protect cabling; usually made from metal






35. Address Resolution Protocol






36. Direct-sequence spread spectrum: signal bits are distributed over a frequency band






37. Ppp tunneling protocol






38. Process in which an NIDPS look for invalid data packets - packets that are malformed under the rules of the TCP/IP protocol






39. Enables network managers to continuously monitor network activity






40. Change in signal strength as a result of reflection - scattering - or diffraction






41. Ppp over ethernet






42. Transport layer protocol that services a request without requiring a verified session and without guaranteeing delivery data






43. Only two wire pairs are reversed






44. Is a method for automatically assigning address and other configuration parameters to network hosts.






45. A TCP/IP utility that allows you to look up the DNS host name of a network node by specifying its IP address - or vice versa. This is useful for verifying that a hos is configured correctly and for troubleshooting DNS resolution problems






46. Hub/repeaters






47. Theoretical. difference b/w highest and lowest frequency.






48. Internet group management protocol






49. Guarantees that a server continually has power even if a buildings electrical service is interrupted - continuous voltage to a device by switching virtually instantaneously to the battery when it detects loss of power






50. Works closely with IP in providing error and control information - by allowing hosts to exchange packet status information to help move the packets along the internetwork
