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. Alert or alarm that occurs in the absence of an actual attack






2. A 32 bit number that - when combined with a device's IP address - indicates the kind of supernet to which the device belongs.






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






4. Device that separates multiplexed signals once they are received and regenerates them in their original form






5. Hardware device typically used to connect multiple LANs






6. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






7. SLIP






8. Any device connected to a network - such as a microcomputer - mainframe - midrange computer - network equipment - or printer. Also called a node.






9. Application Layer






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






11. Hubs and switches work here






12. Cause by length - loss of signals as it travels farther away






13. Manages network communication - available on a CD-ROM for example - that is used to manage communications and how frames or packets are sent using a protocol.






14. Panel of data receptors into which twisted pair wire is inserted to complete a circuit






15. NNTP






16. WAN transmission technologies that contains a segment that relied on 10GBase-EW standard






17. Data Link Layer






18. Application layer protocol that formulates and interprets requests between Web clients and servers






19. NIDPS system that examines network traffic in order to identify problems related to the flow of traffic. Most sensors are passive mode deployment only.






20. Can use WPA to improve the security of data in transit






21. Max number of hops a packet can take b/w its source and destination using RIP on a LAN






22. Enables sharing remote drivers - Enables sharing remote printers - Handles e-mail messages - Provides file transfer services - Provides file management services - Provides terminal emulation






23. This layer in the OSI network model breaks up the files into packets to allow them to be sent around the network.






24. Control frame that indicates to the rest of the network that a particular node has the right to transmit data






25. A computer that accesses another computer - such as a workstation that accesses a shared file on another workstation - server - or mainframe. The client may use the accessed computer (host) to process data - or may process accessed data using its own






26. Multicast group 224-239






27. A process that ensures one device does not send information faster than it can be received by another device.






28. Not individually insulated but shielded. use when there is noise.






29. Service that supports email






30. IDPS that uses profiles to detect anomalous protocol behavior






31. POP3






32. Twisted pair cable consisting of a number of twisted pairs of copper wire with a simple plastic casing. Because - no shielding is used in this cable - it is very susceptible to EMI - RFI - and other types of interference






33. RAS






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






35. Application Layer






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






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






38. Is a protocol designed for managing complex networks






39. ISDN






40. An International organization of scientists - engineers - technicians - and educators that play a leading role in developing standards for network cabling and data transmissions.






41. Any device connected to a network - such as a microcomputer - mainframe - midrange computer - network equipment - or printer. Also called a station.






42. A flexible communications cable that contains pairs of insulated copper wires that are twisted together for reduction of EMI and RFI and covered with an outer insulating jacket.






43. The most popular type of network for medium- and large-scale organizations






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






45. Http - Hypertext transfer protocol






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






47. SMF






48. Knows which VLAN a stream of data belongs to by reading a tad added to each frames header






49. A common way of sharing resources on a peer-to-peer network






50. Equivalent to OSI Layer 4 Transport
