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. Signals travel both directions simultaneously






2. SNMP






3. Network segment that contains end nodes - such as workstations






4. A specialized device that allows multiple networks or segments to connect and exchange data






5. The medium that carries multiple signals simultaneously






6. Standard that describes a security technique - wireless networks - in which a port is prevented from receiving traffic until the transmitters credentials are verified by authentication server






7. Collection of honey pots connecting several honey pot systems on a subnet






8. Used connecting a workstation to a routers console part






9. Only two wire pairs are reversed






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






11. A Data Link sublayer of the OSI model that initiates the communication link between nodes and ensures the link is not unintentionally broken.






12. A gateway that operates on the Internet backbone.






13. Multimode fiber






14. A Data Link sublayer that examines addressing information contained in a network frame and controls how devices share communications on the same network.






15. IDPS that reviews log files from servers - network devices - and other IDPSs for signatures indicating an attack or intrusion






16. 7th layer; protocols enable software programs to negotiate formatting - procedural - security - synchronization - and other requirements with the network






17. EFS






18. Connectivity device - data link layer (2) - reads header info to forward packets according to MAC addresses






19. Groups of workstations are star connect to connectivity devices and then networked via single bus - cover long distances - easy to interconnect - more expensive - ethernet






20. Firewall packet inspection that ignores the state of the connection between the internal computer and the external computer - only blocks or allows a packet based on header information.






21. Type of sensor deployed in such a way that the network traffic it is monitoring must pass through it.






22. 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.






23. The wave bounces back when encountering an object






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






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






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






27. NTP






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






29. Ensures reliablity of packet transmissions from node to node - Ensures that data is sent and received in the same order - Provides acknowledgement when a packet is received - Monitors for packet transmission errors and resends bad packets - Breaks la






30. Addresses packet size






31. Binary values for each bit position






32. Each node passively listens for then accepts data






33. The IEEE 802.3ae standard for Ethernet communications at 10 Gbps






34. Is a TCP/IP service that converts a computer or domain name to an IP address or that converts an IP address to a computer or domain name.






35. Wrapping one layer's PDU with protocol information so that it can be interpreted by a lower layer






36. BootP






37. A term used to refer to data within the Data-link layer of the OSI model.






38. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






39. IPX






40. A TCP/IP troubleshooting utility that uses ICMP to trace the path from one networked node to another - identifying all intermediate hops between the two nodes. Traceroute is useful for determining router or subnet connectivity problems. On Windows-ba






41. Narrow core - light travels in one path - longest distance - more expensive then MMF






42. Frame






43. The most commonly used form of Internet Message Access Protocol.






44. A situation in which two or more packets are detected at the same time on an Ethernet network.






45. Slow wireless standard 11-18 throughput






46. Short tube within a fiber-optic cable connector that encircles the fiber strand and keeps in properly aligned






47. IS designed for the exchange of electronic mail between networked systems -such as between mail servers over a TCP/IP network






48. Is used to enable IP address to be assigned automatically by a DHCP server on a network.






49. Packet






50. Transport Layer
