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. Establishes maintains and terminates connections






2. Frequency modulation-frequency of signal is modified






3. Institute of electrical and electronics engineers






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






5. Used to resolve NetBIOS names w IP address






6. 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.






7. The _____________ allows certain bits of the IP address to be ignored when checking to see if an IP address matches the destination network address.






8. ICMP






9. An established guideline that specifies how networked data is formatted into a packet or frame - how it is transmitted - and how it is interpreted at the receiving end.






10. A type of fiber optic connector. These connectors are square shaped and have release mechanisms to prevent the cable from accidentally being unplugged






11. Four twisted wire pairs rated for 100 Mhz - but capable of handling the disturbance on eash pair that's caused by transmitting on all four pairs at the same time.






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






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






14. A type of point-to-point digital WAN connection that uses standard phone lines to provide high-speed comm.






15. IDPS that uses profiles to detect anomalous protocol behavior






16. Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol






17. 2nd set of characteristics that make up a device's MAC address. Added at the factory and is based on the device's model and manufacture date






18. Uses frame headers






19. Brief delay in processing - length of cable can contribute to this






20. Type of protocol useful when data must be transferred quickly






21. Crimp into pins 1 and 2 of RJ 45 connector






22. Method of data modulation in which the frequency of the carrier signal is modified by the application of the data signal






23. IPX






24. Application Layer






25. Transport layer protocol that services a request without requiring a verified session and without guaranteeing delivery data






26. Data Link Layer






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






28. MMF






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






30. Name Of Layer 3






31. A variation of CHAP designed by Microsoft






32. Device that enables networks or segments using different media to interconnect and exchange signals






33. A network design consisting of a continuous path for data with no logical beginning or ending point - and thus no terminators.






34. Braided metal shielding used to insulate some types of coaxial cable






35. A fiber-optic data transport method capable of a 100-Mbps transfer rate using a dual ring topology; largely supplanted today by faster Ethernet method.






36. An algorithm used to verify the accuracy of data contained in a data frame.






37. Digital - one signal one channel at a time (half duplexing) ex. ethernet






38. Data circuit-terminating equipment. multiplexer or modem






39. MDI






40. Signal interference caused by electrical devices that emit radio waves at the same frequency used by network signal transmissions.






41. A service on a node






42. Modulation technique in which the amplitude of the carrier signal is modified by the application of a data signal






43. RAS






44. What type of browser is designed for use on small handheld devices such as palmtop computers and iPhones?






45. Http - Hypertext transfer protocol






46. 12-character string that uniquely identifies a network node - hard coded into the NIC by the manufacturer; composed ot the block ID and device ID






47. Virtually local area network-device-switch






48. Also called the star-ring hybrid - topology - a network design in which the logic communication are in a ring - but the phyical layout of the network star.






49. Frequency Division Multiple Access






50. Bootstrap Protocol
