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. 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






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






3. A term referring to a data-link header and trailer - plus the data encapsulated between the header and trailer.






4. Frequency hoping spread spectrum: a signal jumps between several different frequencies






5. End-user device - such as a workstation - terminal - or console






6. Indication a system has just been attacked or is under attack






7. Device typically used to create a VLAN






8. Provides service that ensure accurate and timely delivery of network communications between two hosts






9. The <html> - <head> and <body> tags are all examples of ________ tags






10. Also called coax - a network cable medium that consists of a copper core - surrounded by insulation.






11. An error condition on a token ring network that indicates one or more nodes is not functioning.






12. Secure sockets layer-encyrpts TCP/IP transmission including web forms- en route b/w the client server using public key encryption technology






13. 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






14. RSA






15. Transport protocol and TCP/IP port that uses telnet utility use






16. Public switched telephone network






17. The information transfered between layers in the same OSI stack






18. For fiber-optic cable communications - the difference between the transmitted power and the receiver sensitivity - as measured in decibels. It is the minimum transmitter power and receiver sensitivity needed for a signal to be sent and received fully






19. 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.

27. A wireless station listens on all channels for a bacon frame from an access point






28. Signal interference caused by magnetic force field generated by electrical devices such as motors.






29. An arm of the Internet Society (ISOC) that works on Internet-relateed technical issues.






30. Radio frequency interference






31. Pointing in a direction






32. Ppp tunneling protocol






33. Signals travel in one direction






34. Value placed upon an IDPS's ability to detect/identify certain attacks correctly






35. Functions at the network layer that add logical addresses and properly route data






36. 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 stop. Aborbing the signals ensures they are not reflected back onto the cable after they reach the end-t

38. A cable that consists of a single cable sheath containing a combination of fibers and copper cable.






39. Consists of procedures and systems that identify system intrusions






40. An adapter board designed to connect a workstation - server - or other network device to a network medium.






41. A process in which a digital signature is placed in a driver. The digital signature helps ensure that the driver is tested and is compatible with the operating system and device for which it is written.






42. Four twisted wire pairs rated for 100 Mhz.






43. AFP






44. Attacker who utilizes tactics designed to trip the organization's IDPS - essentially causing the organization to conduct its own DoS attack - but overreacting to an actual - but insignificant - attack.






45. Network time protocol






46. Long reach. multimode max length is 550 meters. single mode max length is 5000. 1000 mpbs. baseband transmission






47. Requires many pulses to transmit same info that an analog can transmit in a wave






48. A transport system that uses the CSMA/CD access method for data transmission on a network. Typically it is implemented in a bus or star-bus hybrid topology.






49. Multicast group 224-239
