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






2. Wireless standard






3. Tracks running and graphing data from any workstations. should ensure that new routers and switches can support it in order to easily automate network management






4. The wave splits into secondary waves






5. What does POP3 stand for?






6. Internet control message protocol






7. Useful for troubleshooting a network connectivity problem from workstation to another workstation






8. Physical Layer






9. Signal that uses variable voltage to create continuous waves - resulting in an inexact transmission






10. PPP






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






12. Ensures that messages being transmitted on the internet are private and tamper proof






13. A network whose access is restricted to only clients or machines with proper credentials.






14. A set of routines that make up part of a software application






15. Max size of data units on Ethernet networks






16. Process of breaking large packets into smaller packets.






17. An app. that provides centralized authentication and authorization services for a network.






18. A network design in which every node is connected to every other note - achieving fault tolerance.






19. A network owned and maintained by an organization -such as a campus network operated by a college.






20. Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection






21. CNAME






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






23. Supplying electrical power through ethernet






24. More variable - convey greater subtleties with less energy






25. Produces guidelines for how network cable should be installed in commercial buildings






26. A private network that functions like a tunnel though a large network-such as the Internet or an enterprise network-that is restricted to designated member clients only.






27. Fiber Distributed Data Interface






28. 5th layer; establishes and maintains communication between two nodes on the network; 'traffic cop'






29. PAP






30. Cross talk that occurs between wire pairs near the source of a signal






31. PRI






32. A network design consisting of a continuous path for data with no logical beginning or ending point - and thus no terminators.






33. Saturation of network bandwidth caused by excessive traffic - as when a large number of computers or devices attemp to transmit simultaneously - or when computers or devices presist in transmitting repeatedly.






34. A cable TV company - such as Comcast Broadband.






35. Network File System






36. Equivalent to OSI Layer 4 Transport






37. A transmission method that has distinct signal levels to represent binary zeroes or ones - such as +5 volts and 0 volts.






38. Compatible with 802.11a - b - g 600-65 throughput






39. A type of transmission that can vary continuously - as in a wave pattern with positive and negative voltage levels.






40. Segment






41. As defined by the EIA/TIA-568 standard - cable that runs between network equipment rooms - floors - and buildings.






42. Is usde to communicate time synchronization information between systemson a network






43. Public switched telephone network






44. 4th layer; protocols ensure that data are transferred from point A to point B reliably and without errors; services include flow control - acknowledgment - error correction - segmentation - reassembly - and sequencing






45. NDS






46. Technology that uses standard telephone wires and allows transmission of voice and data information. Slower than ADSL.






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






48. Internet group management protocol






49. MX






50. Signal interference caused by electrical devices that emit radio waves at the same frequency used by network signal transmissions.
