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. SSH






2. First part of the datagram - which consists of general information about the size of the packet - the protocol that was used to send it - and the IP address of both the source computer and its destination.






3. Application Layer






4. A logical grouping of information that includes the network layer header and encapsulated data - but specifically does not include any headers and trailers below the network layer.






5. Port used during a domain name lookup






6. Transmission control Protocol/Internet protocol






7. The Application layer TCP/IP subprotocol responsible for moving messages from one e-mail server to another.






8. (metropolitan area network) used with a handful of buildings and larger then a LAN - connects two or more Lans






9. Uses light to communicate a signal; the light is dispersed on numerous paths as it travels through the core and is reflected back. Provides high bandwidth at high speeds over medium distances up to about 3000 feet






10. Four twisted wire pairs rated for 100 Mhz.






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






12. Analog - only one direction. radio frequency analog waves w differences in frequency. expensive - longer distance. ex. cable TV






13. Set of routines that make up part of a software application






14. SSID






15. The pattern used to install a network medium






16. Which protocol allows users to send emails?






17. Device similar to a burglar alarm in that it detects a violation and activates an alarm.






18. Allows for secure interactive control of remote systems






19. User datagram protocol






20. Cross talk with 2+ wires






21. The IEEE standard for token ring networking devices and data handling.






22. Protocol data unit






23. The IEEE standard for broadband wireless metropolitan area networking (also known as WiMax)






24. Session Layer






25. Interference that may be generated by broadcast signals from radio or TV towers






26. Upper sublayer in the Data Link layer. Provides a common interface and supplies reliability and flow control services






27. Unique identifying number for a network node; follows a hierarchical addressing scheme; can be assigned through OS software; added to data packets and interpreted by protocols at the Network layer






28. The IEEE standard for Ethernet networking devices and data handling (using the CSMA/CD access method)






29. 6th layer; protocols translate between Application and Network layers; data are formatted so that the network can understand - with the format varying according to the type of network; manages data encryption and decryption - such as scrambling of sy






30. Synchronises data exchange






31. A logical communication path established by the OSI Network layer for sending and receiving data.






32. Manages end-to-end delivery of data






33. Default subnet mask for 154.13.44.87






34. 128 -64 -32 -16 -8 -4 -2 -1






35. A thin coaxial cable usually RG-58






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






37. LC






38. PPTP






39. 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.






40. A generic term referring to the header defined by some layer of a networking model - and the data encapsulated by the header ( and possibly trailer) of that layer - but specifically not including an lower-layer headers and trailers.






41. Requires CSU/DSU-the connection point for a t1 live at customers site






42. A far-reaching system of networks that usually extends over approximately 48 kilometers (about 30 miles) and often reaches across states and continents.






43. A TCP/IP utility used to show or modify a client's host name.






44. Manually specify on each workstation so that their users can pick up their internet email from the linux email server






45. Equivalent to OSI Layer 4 Transport






46. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






47. MAC Protocols






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






49. Layer 1






50. An organization composed of more than 100 representatives from industry and government who together determine standards for the electronics industry in addition to other fields - such as chemical and nuclear engineering.
