IT: Networking Vocab

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. Data Link Layer






2. Extent to which a signal has weakened after traveling a given distance






3. NIDPS system that examines network traffic in order to identify problems related to the flow of traffic. Most sensors are passive mode deployment only.






4. System founded on using 1s and 0s to encode information






5. A common way of sharing resources on a peer-to-peer network






6. A network design in which every node is connected to every other node - achieving fault tolerance.






7. Signals composed ot pulses that can have a value of only 1 or 0






8. RADIUS






9. Pipeline used to contain and protect cabling; usually made from metal






10. Frequency hoping spread spectrum: a signal jumps between several different frequencies






11. (WIde area network) Carry networks longer distances than Lans






12. Cabling that transmit data using light waves. Higher bandwidth than other types of cabling.






13. UDP






14. Gigabit Interface Converter - Plugs in to an interface on a switch






15. MAC address






16. Small network 192-223






17. CNAME






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






19. This layer in the OSI network model breaks up the files into packets to allow them to be sent around the network.






20. Which address is split in to four 8-bit parts called octets?






21. Requires many pulses to transmit same info that an analog can transmit in a wave






22. 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.






23. Device typically used to create a VLAN






24. Positive and zero. 1 and 0's.






25. Short tube within a fiber-optic cable connector that encircles the fiber strand and keeps in properly aligned






26. As defined by the EIA/TIA-568 standard - cabling that connects workstations and servers in the work area.






27. The wave bounces back when encountering an object






28. AH






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






30. Packet internet groper






31. 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






32. IDPS's ability to dynamically modify its configuration in response to environmental activity






33. Error detection and correction






34. Stop signals after they have reached the end of the wire






35. The IEEE stanard for error and flow control in data frames.






36. Power loss - the amount of signal that is lost as it travels though the communication medium from the source (transmitting node) to the receiving node.






37. A digital communication service that uses the same network infrastructure as PSTN - but is expensive






38. Four twisted wire pairs rated for 250 MHz.






39. Multimode fiber






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






41. 192-223






42. Software that enables a computer to communicate with devices such as NICs - printers - monitors - and hard disk drives.






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






44. 5 segments b/w two nodes - 4 repeating devices - and 3 segments connected by two repeating devices






45. Method of controlling how network nodes access communication channels - ex highway






46. A value or means of identifying a service on a network node - such as socket or port 103 for standerdized e-mail services in the TCP protocol.






47. A service used via the Application layer to recognize and access other layers






48. FM






49. International society composed of engineering professionals - promotes development and education in the electrical engineering and computer fields






50. An adapter board designed to connect a workstation - server - or other network device to a network medium.
