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. Ethernet LAN-all forms of Ethernet media and interface






2. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






3. String used to identify an access point - configure on your new access points to match the settings on existing access points






4. A single physical/non-physical medium for connecting computers






5. Process by which attacker changes the format and/or timing of their activities to avoid being detected by the IDPS






6. Consists of activities that deter intrusion






7. Measure of strength






8. Asynchronous digital subscriber line. Method of providing internet service that uses the standard phone line - but transmits data at a different frequency than voice. Faster than ISDN.






9. Process of breaking large packets into smaller packets.






10. A standard method or format for communication between networked devices






11. Speed: 1000 Mbps - Alternative name: 1000BASE-LX - 1000BASE-SX - IEEE Standard: IEEE 802.3z - Cable Type: Fiber max length 550m (sx) - 5 km(lx)






12. Provides FTP - HTTP - SMTP...






13. A specialized device that allows multiple networks or segments to connect and exchange data






14. Performs name resolution






15. PAP






16. Knows which VLAN a stream of data belongs to by reading a tad added to each frames header






17. More variable - convey greater subtleties with less energy






18. Determines the network path on which to route packets - Help reduce network congestion - Establishes virtual circuits - Routes packets to other networks - resequencing packet transmissions when needed - Translates between protocols






19. NTP - network time protocol






20. Saturation of network bandwidth caused by excessive traffic - as when a large number of computers or devices attemp to transmit simultaneously - or when computers or devices presist in transmitting repeatedly.






21. Issue signals along a network medium






22. Point of division between a telecommunications service carrier's network and a building's internal network






23. Compatible with 802.11a - b - g 600-65 throughput






24. ATM






25. Groups of workstations are star connect to connectivity devices and then networked via single bus - cover long distances - easy to interconnect - more expensive - ethernet






26. The total amount of opposition to the flow of current.






27. Layer 7






28. Physical layer. 100 mpbs throughout. baseband transmission. cat 5 or higher utp. max length is 100 meters. two wire twisted pair-full duplexing.






29. Network Layer






30. A specially configured connection on a network device that is capable of viewing all the traffic that moves through the entire device.






31. Networking technology developed by IBM in the 80s; relies upon direct links between nodes and ring topology - using tokens to allow nodes to transmit data






32. Loop back address for IPv6






33. Each computer is connected to a central device






34. A network transport control method used in Ethernet networks. It regulates transmission by sensing the presence of packet collisions.






35. A connector used to terminate coaxial cable used for transmitting television and broadband cable signals






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






37. Consists of single cable that connects all nodes on a network without intervening connectivity devices - inexpensive - hard to find source of error - not very fault tolerant - data is transmitted in one direction in the ring.






38. 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






39. Max size of data units on Ethernet networks






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






41. Anything - hardware or software - that monitors transmission of packets of digital information that attempt to pass the perimeter of a network






42. Signal that uses variable voltage to create continuous waves - resulting in an inexact transmission






43. MSAU






44. RADIUS






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






46. Technique for formatting signals in which one property of a carrier wave is modified by the addition of a data signal during transmission






47. Data Link Layer






48. Measure of frequency equivalent to the number of amplitude cycles per second






49. A computer that accesses another computer - such as a workstation that accesses a shared file on another workstation - server - or mainframe. The client may use the accessed computer (host) to process data - or may process accessed data using its own






50. Security measure verifies that your user name and password are contained in the NOS directory
