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. Lower sublayer of the Data Link layer; appends the physical address of the destination computer onto the fram






2. A termination unit also called a transceiver or DSL modem






3. Translated network addresses into their physical counterparts






4. Which protocol is responsible for splitting data into packets and adding a header to each one?






5. A type of transmission in which there are several transmission channels on a communications medium - allowing more than one node to transmit at the same time.






6. Source emits a RTS (request to send) signal to the access point - and the access point replies with CTS (clear to send) for the source to begin its transmission






7. Equivalent to OSI Layer 7 Application - Layer 6 Presentation - Layer 5 Session






8. Produces guidelines for how network cable should be installed in commercial buildings






9. Multimode fiber






10. Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure






11. Hardware device typically used to connect multiple LANs






12. Amplitude modulation-amplitude of signal is modified






13. Individual insulated wire pairs - less expensive then STP - less resistant to noise






14. A high-capacity communications medium that joins networks on the same floor in a building - on different floors - and across long distances.






15. A type of interference that occurs when two LAN cables run close to each other. If one cable is carrying a signal and the other isn't - the one carrying a signal will induce a 'ghost' signal in the other cable






16. The NIC and network equipment are set up so that they have the capacity to send and receive simultaneously. which is possible because od buffering at the NIC.






17. A connecting device for a network that accepts messages and passes them on to other parts of the network. Generally more intelligent than a hub.






18. Used to determine where patch cable for a specific server terminates on the patch panel - and checks for the presence of noise on a wire






19. A generic term referring to any set of protocols and standards collected into a comprehensive grouping that - when followed by the devices in a network - allows all the devices to communicate. Examples include TCP/IP and OSI.






20. A private network that functions like a tunnel though a large network-such as the Internet or an enterprise network-that is restricted to designated member clients only.






21. RDP






22. Station transmits a probe that is then replied by the access point






23. Network interface card






24. Software that is stored on a chip in a device - such as in a ROM - and that typically composes some type of system software






25. Form of transmission in which digital signals are sent through direct current pulses applied to a wire; can only send one signal at a time






26. The wave bounces back when encountering an object






27. Connection-less






28. 3rd layer; protocols translate network addresses into their physical counterparts and decide how to route data from the sender to the receiver






29. Zeroconf






30. Is a challenge respone authentication protocol






31. A drawback of certification






32. Used to resolve NetBIOS names w IP address






33. Follow TIA/EIA 568 specifications






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






35. Term that describes current anti-intrusion technologies






36. MAC Protocols






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






38. Also called coax - a network cable medium that consists of a copper core - surrounded by insulation.






39. Time Division Multiple Access






40. A logical grouping of information that includes the network layer header and encapsulated data - but specifically does not include any headers and trailers below the network layer.






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






42. 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






43. SNMP






44. The 100BaseVG/100VG-AnyLAN approach abandon the CSMA/CD transmission technique for one called demand priorTity.






45. Tracks running and graphing data from any workstations. should ensure that new routers and switches can support it in order to easily automate network management






46. Doesn't use frame headers - uses cells






47. SSID






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






49. Routers work here






50. 1-126
