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. SSID






2. RAS






3. Loop back address for IPv6






4. A type of subnet that is created using bits that normally would be reserved for network class information by moving the subnet boundary to the left.






5. Twist wire so you don't get interference on the memory






6. Aversion of the traceroute utility found on some Linux distributions.






7. Time division multiplexing






8. The Application layer TCP/IP subprotocol responsible for moving messages from one e-mail server to another.






9. An enclosed area - such as a false floor - or ceiling - in which pressure from air or gas can be greater than the pressure outside the enclosed area - particularly during a fire. Plenum area in buildings often extend to multiple rooms or extend throu






10. Multimode fiber






11. The pattern used to install a network medium






12. Attachment Unit Interface Cable equipped with 15 pin connectors






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






14. Layer 1






15. Unshielded twisted pair






16. Network Layer






17. IGMP






18. UDP






19. IANA






20. RJ 11






21. Radio frequency interference. interference caused by radio.






22. Signals travel in both directions but only one at a time






23. A form of fiber-optic cable that supports only one signal transmission at a time and that is used mainly for long- distance communication.






24. Type of transmission in which signals may travel in both directions over a medium simultaneously; also called duplex






25. 12 digits - A-F/0-9






26. Transport Layer






27. Decreasing the size of data units when moving data from a network that can handle larger units to one that can handle only smaller units






28. The general topic of how on one computer - two adjacent layers in a networking architectural model work together - with the lower layer proving services to the higher layer.






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






30. Network Layer






31. Name Of Layer 7






32. A logical process of combining bits. In ANDing - a bit with a value of 1 plus another bit with a value of 1 results in a 1. A bit with a value of 0 plus any other bit results in a 0.






33. The process of enclosing data for transmission






34. The distinct units of data that are exchanged between nodes on a network






35. Application layer protocol used to access information stored in a directory






36. A cable that consists of a single cable sheath containing a combination of fibers and copper cable.






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






38. Rules determining the format and transmission of data






39. IKE






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






41. The utility that allows you to query ICANN's DNS registration database and find information about a domain.






42. Running system for a while to track types of false positives it generates and then adjusting IDPS alarm classifications






43. IEEE standard describing specifications for wireless transmissions






44. Most common cabling used in networking. Usually connects nodes to the main network.






45. Routers work here






46. FDDI






47. A unit of data formatted for transmission over a network that contains control and other information that corresponds to the OSI Networklayer; also called Layer 3.






48. POP3 - post office protocol 3






49. Plain old telephone service






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