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.

2. NAT






3. A network that links multiple LANs in a large city or metropolitan region.






4. The medium that carries multiple signals simultaneously






5. Network File System






6. Similar to FTP. lets you transfer files between a host and an FTP server






7. The NIC and network equipment are set up so they cannot send and receive at the same time






8. Protocol that encapsulates data for transmission over VPNs






9. Plain old telephone service






10. Junction point between the MDF and concentrations of fewer connections; those that terminate in a telecommunications closet






11. Data Link Layer






12. The placement of data from a higher-layer protocol behind the header (and in some cases - between a header and trailer) of the next-lower-layer protocol. For example - an IP packet could be encapsulated in an Ethernet header and trailer before being






13. Sequences packets in correct order






14. Packet a node sends to acknowledge that it received a SYN request for connection; 2nd of three-step connection process






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






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






17. Point or stage in a wave's progress over time






18. Bus topology: A network design built by running cable from one PC or file server to the next - like links in a chain.






19. A systematic survey of all of the target organization's Internet addresses that is conducted to identify network services offered by hosts in that range






20. Standards organizations representing 157 countries headquartered in Geneva. Goal is to establish international standards to facilitate global exchange of information and barrier-free trade

28. An Application layer protocol used to retrieve messages from a mail server. When a client retrieves mail via POP - messages previously stored on the mail server are downloaded to the client's workstation - and then deleted from the mail server.






29. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






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






31. Addresses packet size






32. Controls how applications access network






33. Network Layer

39. Signals travel in one direction






40. Protocol data unit






41. TFTP - trivial file transfer protocol






42. Strategy in which all IDPS control functions are implemented and managed in a central location






43. A technique in which IP address used on a private network are assigned a public IP address by a gateway when accessing a public network.






44. Transport layer protocol that requires the establishment of a connection between communicating nodes before it will transmit data






45. RJ 11






46. 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






47. L2F






48. A type of cable used in network wiring and is usually shielded - which means that it is more immune to interference then unshielded cables






49. Wireless standard
