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. The IEEE standard for Ethernet networking devices and data handling (using the CSMA/CD access method)






2. Largest data unit a network will accept for transmission






3. Data Link Layer






4. The means through which data is transmitted and received






5. Multiplexing technique use over single-mode or multimode fiber-optic cable in which each signal is assigned a different wavelength for its carrier wave; little space exists between carrier waves






6. IPv4






7. (fix) if analog shield twisted pairs or if digital with a repeater






8. Network layer device






9. SNMP






10. 2nd layer; bridges the networking media with the Network layer. Primary function is to divide the data it receives from the Network layer into frames to be transmitted by the Physical layer






11. After typing ping 127.0.0.1 - it tells you the test failed






12. Network-max segment length-100 meters






13. What type of browser is designed for use on small handheld devices such as palmtop computers and iPhones?






14. Internet assigned numbers authority






15. 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






16. Describes a theoretical representation of what happens between two nodes communicating on a network






17. 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.






18. Transport Layer






19. Type of multiplexing that assigns a unique frequncy band to each communications subchannel






20. All wires are reversed






21. Data Link Layer






22. Application that will allow you to configure the workstation to tally these errors and send you and email message every time a problem occured






23. A boundary between two zones of trust






24. Positive and zero. 1 and 0's.






25. A digital communication service that uses the same network infrastructure as PSTN - but is expensive






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






27. Which protocol allows the transfer of a file from one computer to another over the network?






28. An error detection method that calculates a value for the total size of the information fields contained in a frame. The value is inserted near the end of a frame by the Data Link layer on the sending node - and checked by the Data Link layer on the






29. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






30. GSNW






31. The act of hacking into a hacker's system to find out as much as possible about the hacker






32. Amount of data that can be transmitted over media or wireless at a time.






33. Glass/plastic - light pulses high throughput - resistant to noise - most expensive cable






34. To make more efficient use of limited numbers of legitimate IP addressing






35. Transport layer protocol that requires the establishment of a connection between communicating nodes before it will transmit data






36. Enables network managers to continuously monitor network activity






37. Also called the star-bus hybrid topology - a network design that combines the logial comunications of a bus with the physical layout of a star.






38. This phase determines how often systems should send each other quality statistics.






39. Rules determining the format and transmission of data






40. Network news transfer protocol






41. MDI






42. Type of punch-down block used to terminate telephone circuits; does not meet Cat 5 or better standards






43. Hardware that constitutes the enterprise-wide cabling system






44. Is a system that is distributed throughout the internetwork to provide address/name resolution.






45. IMAP4






46. These reside on a computer or appliance connected to network segment and monitor network traffic






47. Digital - one signal one channel at a time (half duplexing) ex. ethernet






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






49. Private connection from a LAN to an internet service provider.






50. A computer that has its own CPU and may be used as a stand-alone computer for word processing - spreadsheet genation - or other software applications. It also may be used to access another computer such as another workstation or server via a network.
