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. A specialized UN agency that provides developing countries with technical expertise and equipment






2. Amount of data that can be transmitted over media or wireless at a time.






3. Gives each node unique address






4. Is a host-to-host protocol like TCP - however it does not include mechanisms for ensuring timely delivery






5. Transport Layer






6. OSPF






7. This phase begins and end a PPP session.






8. Data Link Layer






9. CDFS

13. Physical Layer






14. Any end device on the network (for example: computers - printers - copy machines...)






15. 500 meters - 10Mbps






16. 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






17. The process of reconstructing segmented data






18. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol






19. A network owned and maintained by an organization -such as a campus network operated by a college.






20. Rules determining the format and transmission of data






21. A versatile - chainable serial-bus technology that connects up to 127 devices at speeds of 1.5 Mbps and 12 Mbps as well as 480 Mbps.






22. MPLS






23. Strategy that combines the best of the other two strategies; while individual agents still analyze and respond to local threats - their reporting to a hierarchical central facility enables the organization to detect widespread attacks






24. The capacity to send and receive signals at the same time on the same medium.






25. Transport Layer






26. Also called the physical or device address - the hexadecimal number permanently assigned to a network interface and used by the MAC sublayer within the DATA Link layer (Layer 2).

33. File Transfere Protocol






34. AD






35. A TCP/IP utility that allows you to look up the DNS host name of a network node by specifying its IP address - or vice versa. This is useful for verifying that a hos is configured correctly and for troubleshooting DNS resolution problems
