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. Is an e mail retival protocol designed to enabel users to access their e-mail from various locations






2. Controls the transport of data between systems






3. A type of cabling that includes pairs of copper conductors - twisted around each other - inside a metal or foil shield. This type of medium can support faster speeds than unshielded wiring






4. Algorithm used to verify the accuracy of data contained in a data frame






5. Layer 4 Troubleshooting






6. Is used to allow searching and updating of a directory service






7. A data-link protocol used for remote networking that can exchange IP addresses - carry data by multiple network layer protocols - and support different app. protocols.






8. RADIUS






9. Supplying electrical power through ethernet






10. The process of validating a user.






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






12. Secures messages being transmitted on the internet - uses RSA for authentication and encyption.






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






14. 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.






15. Ethernet communications at speeds up to 100 Mbps as defined under the IEEE 802.3u standard.






16. Layer 3






17. Application layer protocol that formulates and interprets requests between Web clients and servers






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






19. Speed: 10 Mbps - Alternative Name: 10BASE-T - IEEE Standard: IEEE 802.3 - Cable Type: Copper - max length 100 meters






20. AH






21. IRC






22. Form of transmission in which signals are modulated as radiofrequency analog pulses with different frequency ranges; does not involve binary coding






23. The transmission capacity of a communications medium - which is typically measured in bits per second (for data transmissions) or hertz (for data - voice - and video transmissions) - and which is determined by the maximum minus the minimum transmissi






24. Hypertext Transfer Protocol






25. A connector that is used for thin coax cable and that has a boyonet-like shell.






26. A logical communication path established by the OSI Network layer for sending and receiving data.






27. QoS technique enables packet switches technologies to travel over traditionally circuit switched connections






28. The process of reconstructing segmented data






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






30. 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.






31. A type of fiber optic connector. These connectors are square shaped and have release mechanisms to prevent the cable from accidentally being unplugged






32. Which protocol provides the user with many functions of the world wide web?






33. Authentication prtocol that does not issue a challenge or require 3rd party verification of the computer requestiing authentication






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






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






36. Method of error checking that determines if the contents of an arriving data unit match the contents of the data unit sent by the source






37. Cross talk that occurs between wire pairs near the source of a signal






38. Physical Layer






39. More reliable then analog - noise doesn't affect as much - more efficient - fewer errors






40. Several ethernet nodes can be connected and can monitor traffic or access media simultaneously






41. A boundary between two zones of trust






42. QoS






43. In TCP - a term used to describe a TCP header and its encapsulated data (also called an L4PDU). Also in TCP - the process of accepting a large chunk of data from the application layer and breaking it into smaller pieces that fit into TCP segments. In






44. 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






45. IEEE standard for wireless networking






46. CHAP






47. Network Layer






48. NFS






49. Satellite used for broadband internet access






50. Data Link Layer
