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. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






2. Bus topology: A network design built by running cable from one PC or file server to the next - like links in a chain.






3. Most resistant to EMI






4. 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






5. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






6. A device used to connect thicknet cable with a transceiver. A vampire bypasses the need to serve the cable - because the vampire tap has a metal tooth that pierces through the outside cable insulation (like a vampire) and connects with the copper wir






7. 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






8. Http - Hypertext transfer protocol






9. Name Of Layer 1






10. Network Layer






11. Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure






12. Has 25 pins also commonly used with serial communication that conforms to the rs-232 standard






13. More reliable then analog - noise doesn't affect as much - more efficient - fewer errors






14. The process of attracting attention to a system by placing tantalizing information in key locations.






15. IKE






16. Routers use it to identify nodes belonging to a multicast group






17. Frame






18. 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






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






20. A TCP/Ip troubleshooting utility that displays statistics and the state of current TCP/IP connections. It also displays ports - which can signal whether services are using the correct ports.






21. A poplar alternative to FTP is NFS software offered by Sun Microsystems - which uses Sun's remotr procedure call specification via TCP port 111.






22. American national standards institute






23. A term used to refer to data within the Network layer of the OSI model.






24. Method of controlling how network nodes access communication channels - ex highway






25. An advantage of networks






26. Form of transmission in which signals are modulated as radiofrequency analog pulses with different frequency ranges; does not involve binary coding






27. Event that triggers alarms and causes an IDPS to react as if a real attack is in progress






28. Process of breaking large packets into smaller packets.






29. Application Layer






30. L2TP






31. Documented agreement containing technical specifications or other precise criteria used as guidelines to ensure that materials - products - processes - and services suit their intended purpose






32. Hard-to-define skills such as dependability






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






34. FDM






35. Capability for a component or system to continue functioning despite damage or malfunction






36. Electronics industries Alliance






37. What early protocol allows users to access machines remotley that has no security implemented within it?






38. Several ethernet nodes can be connected and can monitor traffic or access media simultaneously






39. Measure of the difference between the highest and lowest frequencies that a medium can transmit






40. Physical layout of a star topology and also ring logical topology






41. Equals a single pulse in the digital encoding system






42. Ethernet cable - high resistance to noise - networks are RG 6






43. User friendly web addresses are translated into IP addresses by the...






44. Computers connected together within a limited geographical area






45. Four twisted wire pairs rated for 250 MHz.






46. Theoretical. difference b/w highest and lowest frequency.






47. EFS






48. Lower sublayer of the Data Link layer; appends the physical address of the destination computer onto the fram






49. The sender transmits the data to the destination without establishment of a connection.






50. Techniques that employ hardware and software to provide assurance against equipment failures - computer service interruptions - and data loss.
