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. A frame (or packet) sent to all nodes on the network.






2. You may set up a web server on companys access server - allowing global connections - for employees to access






3. Metropolitan area network






4. Defines host IP in packet headers






5. Manages network communication - available on a CD-ROM for example - that is used to manage communications and how frames or packets are sent using a protocol.






6. A type of address translation in which a limited pool of internet-valid IP addresses is shared by multiple private network hosts.






7. A shell protocol that enables systems to use various authenticaion mechanisms.






8. 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.






9. Generates signals as changes in voltage at the NIC






10. Application Layer






11. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






12. Backbone: A high-capacity communications medium that joins networks on the same floor in a building - on different floors - and across long distances.






13. IDPS that compares sampled network activity to established baseline






14. A resistor that is connected to the end of a segment on a bus network - so that data-carrying signals are absorbed at the point where the segment stops. Absorbing the signals ensures they are not reflected back onto the cable after they reach the end






15. A variation of CHAP designed by Microsoft






16. Equivalent to OSI Layer 7 Application - Layer 6 Presentation - Layer 5 Session






17. IEEE standard for error and flow control in data frames






18. The utility that allows you to query ICANN's DNS registration database and find information about a domain.






19. ICMP






20. What is a unique name that identifies an internet site called?






21. 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






22. A logical process of combining bits. In ANDing - a bit with a value of 1 plus another bit with a value of 1 results in a 1. A bit with a value of 0 plus any other bit results in a 0.






23. 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.






24. Each node passively listens for then accepts data






25. Public switched telephone network






26. Is a system that is distributed throughout the internetwork to provide address/name resolution.






27. Delay between the transmission of a signal and its receipt






28. 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.






29. Process of grouping almost identical alarms occurring at almost same time into single higher-level alarm






30. Best fault tolerance






31. SSID






32. Equivalent to OSI Layer 3 Network






33. 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






34. Process of directing a datagram from its source through an internetwork to its destination using the most efficient path.






35. Application Layer






36. Unshielded twisted pair






37. Speed: 100 Mbps - Alternative name: 10BASE-TX - IEEE Standard: IEEE 802.3u - Cable Type: Copper - max length 100m






38. Signals on bus that would travel endlessly between two nodes






39. MDI






40. A computer that has its own CPU and may be used as a stand-alone computer for word processing - spreadsheet creation - or other software applications. It also may be used to access another computer such as another workstation or server via a network.






41. 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






42. Process in which an NIDPS inspects the higher-order protocols (HTTP - FTP - Telnet) are examined for unexpected packet behavior or improper use






43. 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.






44. The number of times a signal's amplitude changes over a fixed period of time - expressed in cycles per second - Hz






45. Name Of Layer 6






46. All wires are reversed






47. Every node on the network is connected through a central device like a switch - cannot be disabled by a single malfunction in a workstation - scalable - - popular - expensive - cable malfunction will only effect 2 workstations - more fault tolerant.






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






49. PAP






50. Basic error checking and correction
