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 used to allow searching and updating of a directory service






2. A very high speed - long distance media that consists of a single strand of fiber glass that carries the signals. Can transmit data 50 times further than multimode fiber at a faster rate






3. Assigning a unique frequency band to each communication






4. A Data Link sublayer that examines addressing information contained in a network frame and controls how devices share communications on the same network.






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






6. For fiber-optic cable communications - the difference between the transmitted power and the receiver sensitivity - as measured in decibels. It is the minimum transmitter power and receiver sensitivity needed for a signal to be sent and received fully






7. HDLC






8. The sender transmits the data to the destination without establishment of a connection.






9. Max number of hops a packet can take b/w its source and destination using RIP on a LAN






10. Sequences packets in correct order






11. PPPoE






12. POP3 - post office protocol 3






13. The IEEE standard for token ring networking devices and data handling.






14. SSID






15. Plain old telephone service






16. Network Layer






17. IDPS that examines network traffic in search of patterns that match known signatures






18. 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






19. Not individually insulated but shielded. use when there is noise.






20. A device used to connect thicknet cable with a transceiver. A vampire bypasses the need to serve the cable - because the vampire tap has a metal tooth that pierces through the outside cable insulation (like a vampire) and connects with the copper wir






21. Using part of a leased line






22. Only two wire pairs are reversed






23. User datagram protocol






24. 6th layer; protocols translate between Application and Network layers; data are formatted so that the network can understand - with the format varying according to the type of network; manages data encryption and decryption - such as scrambling of sy






25. Which protocol allows users to send emails?






26. Offers one way for a computer to access another computer over the network or over the Internet. For example - an IBM programmer can use Telnet on a Windows XP or Red Hat Enterprise Linux computer to access a mainframe though the Internet






27. Is a secure form of HTTP






28. Small Form Plug-gables - Plugs in to an interface on a switch






29. Layer 2






30. OU






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






32. Network configuration that allows selected outside organizations to access internal information systems.






33. Alert or alarm that occurs in the absence of an actual attack






34. End-user device - such as a workstation - terminal - or console






35. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






36. IP






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






38. Fiber-optic cable used on a network backbone for high-speed communications - such as between floors of a building.






39. A route discovery and analysis utility that comes with UNIX and Linux operating systems. Mtr combines with functions of the ping and traceroute commands and delivers an easily readable chart as its output






40. A network whose access is restricted to only clients or machines with proper credentials.






41. Electronics industries Alliance






42. A resistor that is connected to the end of a segment on a bus network - so that data-carrying signals are absorbed at the point where the segment stop. Aborbing the signals ensures they are not reflected back onto the cable after they reach the end-t






43. GSNW






44. WAN transmission technologies that contains a segment that relied on 10GBase-EW standard






45. 500 meters - 10Mbps






46. Data Link Layer






47. Describes a theoretical representation of what happens between two nodes communicating on a network






48. Name Of Layer 3






49. 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






50. Enables network managers to continuously monitor network activity
