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. Pieces of hardware that connect the wire to the network device






2. The least secure authentication method






3. BootP






4. The shorter the wavelength






5. ICA






6. The scheme for assigning a unique identifying number to every node on a network






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






8. Network news transfer protocol






9. The seventh layer of the OSI model. Application layer protocols enable software programs to negotiate formatting - procedural - security - synchronization - and other requirements with the network.






10. Initiates the communication link - Makes sure the communication link is maintained - Determines which node transmits at any point in time - such as which one transmits first - Disconnectd when a communication session is over - Translates node address






11. Is a method for automatically assigning address and other configuration parameters to network hosts.






12. Firewall packet inspection that examines the data contained in a packet as well as the state of the connection between internal and external computers.






13. A unit of data transmitted on a network that contains control and address information corresponding to the OSI Data Link layer - or Layer 2.






14. Package for data that includes not only the data - or 'payload -' but also the sender's and recipient's addressing and control information. Generated at the Data Link layer and issued to the Physical layer






15. Netscape and Microsoft have implemented HTTPS to protect data transported via their Web browsers.






16. A group of two or more computer systems linked together.






17. A term used to refer to data within the Data-link layer of the OSI model.






18. IEEE standard describing specifications for wireless transmissions






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






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






21. A coaxial connector uses a twist and lock style - may be used with Rg-6 and RG-59






22. Nondata info that must accompany data for it to be properly routed. addition to data






23. HDLC






24. All wires are reversed






25. Activities finalize restoration of operations to a normal state and seek to identify source and method of intrusion to ensure same type of attack cannot occur again






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






27. Regular voice-grade telephone service.






28. Response generated atTransport layer confirming to sender that its frame was received; 3rd step in establishing a connection






29. Transforms data into a form network or applications will understand






30. Hard-to-define skills such as dependability






31. On a cable-TV WAN - a central receiving point for signals from various sources - including satellite - major cable sources - and local tevevision sources.






32. 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






33. A single computer that provides extensive multiuser access to network resources - such as shared files - shared disks - and shared printers.






34. A TCP/IP troubleshooting utility that uses ICMP to trace the path from one networked node to another - identifying all intermediate hops between the two nodes. Traceroute is useful for determining router or subnet connectivity problems. On Windows-ba






35. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol






36. Unshielded twisted pair






37. (fix) if analog an amplifier or if digital with repeater






38. Allows clients to communicate in different floors






39. Application Layer






40. Running system for a while to track types of false positives it generates and then adjusting IDPS alarm classifications






41. IS designed for the exchange of electronic mail between networked systems -such as between mail servers over a TCP/IP network






42. BIND






43. International Organization for Standardization






44. Experimentation 240-255






45. A medium that carries 1 signal






46. The process of determining the best path from Point A on one network to Point B on another






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






48. A series of interconnected computers - printing devices - and other computer equipment that shares hardware and software resources. The service area usually is limited to a given office area - floor - or building.






49. MDI






50. A form of address translation that uses Tcp port numbers to distinguish each client's transmission - thus allowing multiple clients to share a limited number of Internet-recognized IP addresses.
