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. QoS technique enables packet switches technologies to travel over traditionally circuit switched connections






2. Teflon-coated cable that is used in plenum area because it does not emit a toxic vapor when burned






3. Radio frequency interference. interference caused by radio.






4. Hardware device located at the ISP side of ADSL connections.






5. A service used via the Application layer to recognize and access other layers






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






7. Networking technology developed by IBM in the 80s; relies upon direct links between nodes and ring topology - using tokens to allow nodes to transmit data






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






9. Connection-less






10. Application Layer






11. AMI






12. RAS






13. Electromagnetic interference






14. Station transmits a probe that is then replied by the access point






15. A technique for connecting to a network at a remote location using Internet as the medium.






16. Used with single mode or multi mode fiber optic cable






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






18. 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






19. L2TP






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






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






22. A permanent telephone connection between 2 locations that provide a predetermined amount of bandwidth at all times






23. Experimentation 240-255






24. ICA






25. Traces path from one network node to another - identifying all intermediate hops b/w two nodes






26. A network transport control method used in Ethernet networks. It regulates transmission by sensing the presence of packet collisions.






27. Extent to which a signal has weakened after traveling a given distance






28. Communications for continuous burst of data controlled by a clock signal that starts each burst.






29. Equivalent to OSI Layer 3 Network






30. File Transfere Protocol






31. The physical layout of the cable and wireless network devices and the logical path followed by network frames and packets sent on the cable or by wireless transmissions






32. Communications cable that has no shielding material between the pair of insulated wires twisted together and the cable's outside jacket.






33. Failure of an IDPS to react to an actual attack event






34. Used on many UNIX/LINUX systems to provide authentication security for TCP/IP applications such as Telnet and FTP






35. Resistance that contributes to controlling an electrical signal; measured in ohms






36. 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.






37. Technique for formatting signals in which one property of a carrier wave is modified by the addition of a data signal during transmission






38. Satellite used for broadband internet access






39. Ethernet NICs listen on network and wait until they detect no other nodes transmitting data






40. Multimode fiber






41. Loop back address for IPv6






42. Feeding everybody in building






43. Process of breaking large packets into smaller packets.






44. BIND






45. Supplying electrical power through ethernet






46. Which class of IP address would be allocated to a very large company?






47. Largest data unit a network will accept for transmission






48. 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.






49. Internet protocol security-defines encryption - authentication - and key management for TCP/IP transmission






50. Is a host-to-host protocol like TCP - however it does not include mechanisms for ensuring timely delivery
